The winners from each category were announced at the luncheon. Winners are pictured below with other finalists of that category who also received a certificate.
In her closing remarks, CEO Konnie Martin addressed the staff: "Your work matters. Your service changes the world one patient at a time. Your smile and positive attitude connect you in a manner more profound than you may ever be able to understand. I congratulate you on your service and ma honored to celebrate your achievements. In closing, I want to leave you with a quote I came across - 'I am not going to tell you that your work will be easy...but, I am going to tell you that it will be worth it.' Thank you."
