Vicky Lumpkin, Registrar/Scheduler, Mount Nittany Health Urology, is known across her practice for her compassion, dedication, and the genuine warmth she brings to every interaction. Whether she’s offering a kind word, stepping up to help a colleague, or going the extra mile for a patient in need, Vicky is always ready to lend a hand. Her calm presence and strong sense of responsibility make her a steady source of support for providers, coworkers, and patients alike. For these reasons and many more, she was recently named the June 2025 Employee of the Month.
Vicky embodies the Mount Nittany Health Experience in everything she does. She lives out all six of our core values, but for this recognition, we are especially proud to honor her for her caring demeanor. Every day, she demonstrates a deep and personal commitment to those around her, creating a more welcoming and compassionate environment for all.
Her nomination read:
“Recently, a gentleman arrived for an appointment that was not scheduled for that day and did not have a ride home. Vicky made it a priority to ensure he got home safely. She called numerous public transportation offices to try to arrange a ride. Many services required a pre-established account, but she persisted until she confirmed a specific bus time. She even contacted the transportation office to ask that the driver wait a little longer, as the individual would need extra time to get there. She made sure he had a cold bottle of water, a snack, and a shaded place to wait for the bus.”
This kind of dedication leaves a lasting impression, not only on the people we serve, but on the entire care team.
Vicky has worked at Mount Nittany Health for more than four years and has deep roots in the Centre region. A State College native, she proudly notes that her family has lived here for five generations. Her lifelong commitment to care started early when she was a volunteer at Centre Community Hospital, and continued through a career that includes a Pennsylvania license as a Radiologic Technologist and 27 years in front office roles with a multifaceted company.
When asked what she loves about her work, Vicky said, “Each day is very different from any before, and each patient I take care of is a unique experience. I love to bring a smile to someone’s face who was very sad when they arrived. Always put yourself in their shoes. Go the extra mile every opportunity you can to make a difference in someone’s life.”
Vicky was surprised but grateful to be named May’s Employee of the Month.
“I was stunned,” she said. “It is such an honor, and I am deeply humbled and extremely grateful.”
Outside of work, Vicky enjoys landscaping and gardening a wide variety of flowers, antique shopping, yard sales, long evening walks, and listening to reggae music.
She gives special thanks to her mother, who has passed but is always with her in spirit; her son, Denali, who keeps her grounded; her sister, Shelby, who is a great listener; and their 12-year-old dog, Lily, who reminds her to enjoy the simple things in life.
We are so grateful to have Vicky as part of our team and applaud her for this well-deserved recognition. Vicky, thank you for your compassion, your dedication, and for consistently exemplifying the Mount Nittany Health Experience.
