Lucia Swenson has dedicated 46 years to RiverView Health, beginning her career at the Glenmore Treatment Center and currently working as a Home Health Customized Living CNA at Oak Court Apartments in Crookston.
“It’s sometimes challenging,” she says of her work, “but in a good way. If you work hard, things work out.”
Clearly, Lucia’s hard work has paid off, as she was recently surprised by her “very sneaky” team with the September Employee of the Month honor.
Lucia has lived in Crookston her entire life. She and her husband, Dennis, have three children: Sarah, Phillip, and Eric, and seven grandchildren. Lucia finds joy in gardening and canning, sharing the fruits of her labor with anyone who is interested. Another of her favorite pastimes is walking her dog, Buttercup, whom she fondly refers to as the “Master of the House.” She also enjoys spending time with her sisters and family.
Regarding her Employee of the Month award, she stated, “I am very honored. I love working with my team and take great pride in being a part of RiverView for all these years.”
