Gold medal friends: Janine Nelson grateful for coworker support

Janine Nelson was nearing her job at Providence Benedictine Nursing Center – a little early, as usual – on Mt. Angel Highway the morning of July 21. She hadn’t been back to work all that long, but it appeared her son Jefferey was on the mend after his heart transplant a few months earlier. Chances are, she was thinking about how enjoyable her job was; the people with whom she’d worked for the past 14 years, and how lucky she was that while at work, she could always see her mom, Diane Gwyn, who’d been a resident there for the past four years after she had a stroke in 2000.
