Gayla worked 24 years with a larger retailer in the Kalamazoo area. She started working part time for NHC. Two years later she decided to make it full-time, and finds that her love of helping people has a true fit at this store. "The staff, the customers, and the positive atmosphere make a job at NHC seem like a second home," she says of her now ten years and counting there. She enjoys gardening and spending time with Tim, her husband of 30 years, and son Greg, and wife Anna.
