All in the Family

”We are all family!” is a common refrain heard among Le Bonheur Associates. For the Floyd and Scoggins families, that phrase has extra meaning.

When Linda Floyd walked through the doors of Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in 2002 to start her job as a utility aide, she had no idea she had begun a new family tradition. In the years to come, Linda’s daughter, Robin Scoggins, and granddaughter, Grace Scoggins, would follow in her footsteps to join the Le Bonheur team as Associates.

For more than 12 years, Linda worked at Le Bonheur, most notably serving as a utility aide for 10 years, including when the hospital transitioned to the current building in 2010. Linda played an integral role in ensuring supplies and materials were efficiently organized in the new building to guarantee seamless patient care. 

“Le Bonheur is such a special place,” Linda said. “The staff help families through difficult times and are there for patients without family support.”

After witnessing Linda’s positive experience at Le Bonheur and visiting kids at the hospital in her capacity as a children’s pastor, Robin decided to apply for a secretary position. 

I’m proud to know that Robin and Grace are carrying on the family tradition of loving staff and patients at Le Bonheur like family.

Robin was hired and quickly learned her mom was right: Le Bonheur is so special because everyone is family.

When Robin started at Le Bonheur, Linda was working as a utility aide and Robin was able to order the items her mom needed to restock the units.

For 23 years, Robin has worked at Le Bonheur in various roles, but one thing has remained constant: her love for Le Bonheur.

“I’m proud to work at Le Bonheur knowing we are providing the best care possible for children and their families,” Robin said. “I feel comfortable sending my friends and family here knowing they will receive the treatment they deserve.”

Being able to learn new skills and help with various activities in the hospital like pitching in at FedExFamilyHouse, serving on the Cereal Drive Team, helping with Pumpkin Run and fundraising campaigns has helped Robin grow professionally. In 2022, Robin’s dedication to Le Bonheur was formally recognized when she received the Power of One Award, a quarterly award given to Associates who emulate Le Bonheur’s belief in the power one person’s actions can make in the lives of the children and families the hospital serves.

I’m proud to work at Le Bonheur knowing we are providing the best care possible for children and their families. I feel comfortable sending my friends and family here knowing they will receive the treatment they deserve.

When Robin’s daughter, Grace Scoggins, completed pharmacy technician training, she knew just where she wanted to work. 

“This hospital is where I grew up and it seemed like a great fit to get paid to work at a place I love,” Grace said. “Knowing I can work in a department that helps patients heal with the correct medications makes me proud to work at Le Bonheur.”

Fellow Associates have been welcoming to Grace, who is often to treated to stories about her family as their praises are sung by past and present colleagues.

Not only have Linda, Robin and Grace gotten to make a difference through their work at Le Bonheur, but they have also gotten to spend quality time together.

“I have been able to eat lunch with both my mom and my daughter and ride to and from work together,” Robin said. “It has been so special to have that family time.”

Linda is proud of the impact her family has made at the hospital she loves and the Floyd legacy of love for Le Bonheur that her daughter and granddaughter continue today.

“I’m proud to know that Robin and Grace are carrying on the family tradition of loving staff and patients at Le Bonheur like family,” Linda said.
