It is important for an organization to acknowledge the efforts of its staff.  As such, the Lake Cumberland District Health Department has instituted an employee awards program.


In January 2005 the Lake Cumberland District Health Department started selecting an employee of the month.  The candidates were nominated by their peers for “going beyond the call of duty” and selected by the Executive Team by anonymous vote.  From the twelve monthly “Employees of the Month” an “Employee of the Year” is also selected.
