You see it everywhere: some departments note employees that are "Caught in the Act of Caring", others point out those that go "Above and Beyond" in their group, communication boards are filled with thank you cards and notes from patients and fellow-employees.
One of the exciting ways we recognize people who serve diligently over a long period of time is through our Annual Service Awards program.
Last week, the 35th Annual Service Awards Banquet was held in the Education and Conference Center at Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton. Over 180 employees were honored for providing 10, 15, 20 and all the way up to 40 years of continual service.
Chef Tom Wild and his "top drawer" crew provided an exquisite meal.
There was cool jazz . . . 
...and there were warm receptions as old friends gathered with their family from work.
Throughout the night, employees received accolades for their years of service.
In health care, most of our heroes are the unsung kind. It's good that we have these events every now and then to stop and say "thank you!".
And speaking of unsung heroes, Vette Carr and Keron Smith of Human Resources each played vital roles in the coordination of this mammoth event; but like everything in our business - it wouldn't have happened without the tireless efforts of people everywhere. People like Environmental Services, Food and Nutrition Services, Information Systems, Engineering, Security, Human Resources, Administration and a sweet bunch of little ladies from Volunteer Services!
