tevis mcintyre retirement from winner regional

Tevis McIntyre retired Oct. 30 from Winner Regional Healthcare Center after 31 years of service.

He started at Winner Regional in December of 1984. He started as a night watchman as no doors to the facility were locked back then.  As he proved his worth as a night watchman, there was not much to watch any longer so he was given a list of things to do at night like changing light bulbs. This is how his role in the maintenance department began.

McIntyre says the highlight of working at Winner Regional was the good people he worked with. “I enjoyed it or I would not have stayed,” he said. “I might not have gotten it all done but there is always something to do.”
 He hopes to spend more time in Arizona in the winter.
