Lisa Anderson was awarded Employee of the Year 2021.  She has worked tirelessly, going above and beyond on numerous occasions as well as taking on additional responsibilities due to the COVID response. I will say that this year (as well as 2020) has been much more difficult than normal to select this winner due to how exceptionally ALL health department staff have responded with grace and effort under the demands of the pandemic.

Kathy was actually nominated twice for two different situations. One was a testimonial from a HANDS parent who sang her praises and thanked her for her services and kindness. The second nomination was from a co-worker who Kathy helped when the co-worker was involved in a scary and very inconvenient traffic accident. Kathy has demonstrated her willingness to go above and beyond for her families and friends numerous times. Please join me in congratulating Kathy! Well done!

Michelle Wesley was recently named the February 2022 Employee of the Month. Her nomination was for going above and beyond by helping the IT department with some technical support outside of her HANDS duties. In fact, Michelle is so helpful and good with technology, the IT guys have referred to her as the “unofficial” fourth member of the IT team!  Michelle is always kind and helpful and willing to go out of her way for others.
