LINCOLN – Bobbi Jo Meader of Lincoln, a cook in the dietary department at Lincoln Memorial Hospital, is the nonprofit hospital’s Colleague of the Month for October.

Meader joined Lincoln Memorial Hospital in 2009. She is known for taking great pride in the food she prepares, especially when it comes to coming up with delicious and healthy recipes for co-workers and patients to sample, said hospital officials.

Meader said she loves baking at home as a hobby. She brings her enthusiasm for food and meal presentation to her work at Lincoln Memorial Hospital.

“It’s always obvious that Bobbi has added extra effort to her cooking,” said one of Meader’s co-workers, who nominated Meader to receive recognition.

Outside of work, Meader enjoys baking and reading.
