Sacramento District Employees Recognized for Medical Emergency Response, Reflect on Workplace Preparedness

By Grant Okubo USACE Sacramento District Published June 30, 2026
When a colleague at Sacramento District headquarters said she wasn’t feeling well, Jerilynn Hilmar alerted those nearby, Shelley McCoy stayed close to provide comfort and reassurance, and Elizabeth “Ellie” Hayes went downstairs to notify building security and escort first responders back to the scene. No cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed and no automated external defibrillator was deployed, but their quick, coordinated response ensured she got the medical attention she needed. For that, the three received a commander’s coin from Sacramento District Commander Col. Robert McTighe on Dec. 8, 2025. They’re grateful for it, though they’re quick to put it in perspective.
