Ribbon Cutting for IU Health Bloomington

5/5/2022

0 Comments

 
​It took years of planning, construction, dedication, effort, and heart to make the new IU Health Bloomington happen. On Wednesday, May 4, IU Health South Central Region leaders, elected officials, Chamber representatives, Indiana University officials, and IU Health team members celebrated the years of hard work with a ribbon-cutting ceremony inaugurating the new hospital. While their move to the new facility on Sunday, Dec. 5, went without a hitch, a rise in COVID-19 numbers in the community kept teams from safely celebrating at the time.
On May 4th they celebrated this HUGE accomplishment and everyone who helps deliver on their promise to their patients every day!

Brother William Morris, from WFIU's Soul Kitchen, was our emcee for the evening. There were TONS of prizes donated from our Chamber members for our raffle that evening. Thank you to all who attended and to our sponsors for making this event possible.

Business Spotlight: JB Screening Partners, Inc.

4/22/2022

Picture
Janie Wilcox, President of JB Screening Partners, Inc., started the business in 2016. JB Screening Partners, Inc. is a hiring and leasing partner to help you secure the top talent or finding the perfect tenant. JB Screening Partner’s Inc. is one of the Chamber’s women-owned business members.

Janie started out her professional career after being a stay-at-home mom for 12+ years. “The most rewarding job of my life!” she says.

In her forty’s she went back to college and obtained a second degree in Computer Information Systems. That decision led her to a position at Smithville Communications working the night shift as part of their newly expanded Technical Support Department. From that job, she worked her way through the company to end her career with Smithville Communications as the Operations Manager Telecom Residential and Business Solutions.
​
After leaving Smithville Communications, Janie went back to school and received her certification in Project Management. It was at the end of this schooling that John Bethell contacted Janie and offered her the opportunity to be part of a new background screening company. Today Janie is the owner of JB Screening Partners, Inc. “And as they say… the rest is yet to come,” she said.
