“I have enjoyed working at Blessing, seeing the many changes in healthcare throughout the years, helping patients in their time of need and getting them home to their families, and making friends with my coworkers. I will miss being here.”
A member of Quincy’s Calvary Baptist Church, Van Os has taught Sunday School to two and three-year-olds for more than 50 years and continues to do so.
