The Greene County Medical Center administration on Tuesday, March 25, honored 31 team members for milestone years of service and five others who were nominated for the Van Zelderen Excellence Award.
At a special ceremony, Julia Glawe, who recently celebrated her 10th anniversary in the Human Resources department at the medical center, was presented with the 2024 Van Zelderen Excellence Award. Four others were also nominated for this peer award. Nominations are submitted by fellow team members for those they believe exemplify the Greene County Medical Center PRIDE values of Patient-Centered Care, Respect, Integrity, Dedication and Empathy. These individuals all enhance both patient and coworker experiences.
Glawe’s nominators wrote, “Julia is always professional, respectful and has the best interest of employees at the forefront. She encourages recognition for other staff, never expecting any for herself. But when I think of the Van Zelderen Award and what it represents, Julia is the first employee I think of. When I look at our values, Julia embodies all of these. Greene County Medical Center is lucky to have her!”
Other nominees for the Van Zelderen Excellence Award include: Abby Skoglund, Acute Care; Sarah Hoffman, Family Medicine Clinic & Behavioral Health; Jennifer Carlisle, Acute Care; and Veronica Silva, Human Resources.
The 31 team members marking milestone work anniversaries include: Carol Pope was recognized for 45 years of service at the medical center. Denise Promes was recognized for 35 years, Rochelle Mitchels was honored for 30 years of service, and Kris Aldridge and Tessa Weir were recognized for 25 years of service.
Other team members marking anniversary years were Jennifer Carlisle and Laura Walker, 20 years; Paula Parris, 15 years; Brad Ferguson and Julia Glawe, 10 years; and Diane Carey, Ashley Clark, Laurie Connolly, Thomas Fagg, Kelli Farley, Anita Fitzpatrick, Sara Fleecs, Heather Hagar, Nancy Houska, Jerrine King, Jamie McDonald, Annette Morlan, Teresa Morlan, Mary Nieto, Emily Ostrander, Lynda Pierson, Kristy Ramirez, Stefanie Schreier, Diana Smith, Jesus Valles and Heather Wilson, 5 years.
