Returning to Her Roots

Rachel Sewald returns to be with family

Together again

Rachel Sewald, R.N., is back working on 6T and spending some quality time with her parents, Deborah Sewald, case manager, and Richard Sewald, security, at LVH–Muhlenberg.

When Rachel Sewald, R.N., left Lehigh Valley Hospital’s scholarship program to pursue another offer at a Philadelphia hospital, she realized the grass wasn’t greener. Sewald noticed the facilities and atmosphere just didn’t match up to LVHHN.

Sewald also missed her family: Her mother, Deborah, is a LVH–Muhlenberg case manager, and her father, Richard, is a security guard. “I loved coming to work and bumping into my dad when I went to the cafeteria,” she says.

Today, Sewald is back at LVH–Muhlenberg, where she works with her mom on 6T and shares an occasional meal with her father. “LVHHN gave me far more experience and opportunity,” Sewald says, “The added bonus is that my parents work here, too.” "LVHHN gave me far more experience and opportunity," Sewald says, "The added bonus is that my parents work here, too."
