Compassionate Emergency Department Unit Secretary Named Morris Hospital Fire Starter of the Month
April 22, 2024, MORRIS, IL – Dedicated, compassionate and irreplaceable are just a few words used to describe Morris Hospital Emergency Department Unit Secretary Brittany Fowler. Over the past seven years, the Seneca resident has gained a reputation for being a team player who is always working behind the scenes to help ensure Morris Hospital’s Emergency Department is running smoothly.
In recognition of all she does to make Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers an excellent place for patients to receive care, Fowler is being honored as the Morris Hospital April Fire Starter of the Month.

I enjoy reading the comments on our patient surveys and learning how we positively impact the lives of our patients and their family members.”
