2025 Team Member Years of Service Celebration

8/19/2025

At our August 28, 2025 Team Member Appreciation Breakfast, we recognized 119 team members who celebrated a milestone anniversary in the past year. Those 119 team members have a combined 1,475 year of service at Christie Clinic!

50 YEARS OF SERVICE

In 1974, the nation watched as President Nixon resigned, UPC barcodes made their debut at grocery stores and a little invention called the Rubik’s Cube was introduced to the world. Fifty years of service is something very few people achieve — and even fewer do so with the warmth, humility and excellence that our team members show every day.

35 YEARS OF SERVICE

1989 was a year of global change — Taylor Swift was born, the first commercial internet providers emerged and Nintendo introduced the Game Boy. Back then, our practice looked very different — smaller, simpler yet still deeply rooted in community trust. For 35 years, our team members have helped carry that spirit forward through incredible changes in medicine, technology and patient care.

30 YEARS OF SERVICE

Thirty years ago, Christie Clinic grew with the construction of one of our flagship locations – Christie Clinic in Champaign on Windsor. At that time, we were still operating fully on paper charts, coordinating care with clipboards and phone calls. A lot has changed over the last 30 years, but the dedication and commitment of our team members is one thing that’s held strong.

25 YEARS OF SERVICE

These team members started at Christie Clinic when the Y2K bug had everyone on edge and Napster had just launched. Over the last 25 years, they’ve been part of incredible transformation — from paper charts to electronic health records, from a small footprint to our expanded reach across Central Illinois. Their contributions have helped shape who we are today. Thank you for a quarter-century of loyalty, leadership and impact.

15 YEARS OF SERVICE

Fifteen years ago, while the world was recovering from the financial crisis and Apple launched the iPhone 3GS, Christie Clinic welcomed an incredible group of individuals to our team. It was a year that reminded us of the importance of stability — and our team members have provided just that for 15 years. They’ve seen us through growth, change and transformation. Thank you for being a steady force and for 15 incredible years of service.
