\"MCCPaperLogo\"<\/a>ChaseHealth Residential and Short Term Rehabilitation Center is proud to announce\u00a0that one of the two winners of the LeadingAge Employee Distinction Award for the Southern Tier is 22-year employee Melanie Hackett, CNA. As a small, rural, not for profit stand-alone skilled nursing home\u00a0ChaseHealth is so very pleased that this the second year in a row that a long time employee has been so honored.<\/p>\n

The Employee of Distinction Award recognizes the extraordinary dedication of direct services and\u00a0indirect service staff, not part of the upper management team. These employees are recognized for how\u00a0they positively affect the quality of life of those served, be it through the manner in which the employee\u00a0exhibits their commitment\/dedication or has been a key leader in a program that has significantly\u00a0improved the quality of care within their own individual organization.<\/p>\n

Some of Mel\u2019s co-workers describe her in the following ways when nominating her for this award; \u201cMel\u00a0is the type of person that will look people in the eyes and the sparkle she gives allows individuals to\u00a0know her heart is full of compassion.\u201d \u201cMel wholeheartedly understands and acknowledges that the\u00a0people she cares for are unique individuals and takes the time to know their life stories, experiences,\u00a0and thoughts.\u201d \u201cDespite facing severe hearing loss, she never hesitates to be the champion for her co-workers, voicing appreciation, acceptance, adaptation, or need be annoyance.\u201d \u201cShe never thinks twice about giving feedback to promote positive change and anticipating the needs of others.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to serving the needs of the residents of ChaseHealth, Mel is also very active in ChaseHealth\u2019s\u00a0fundraising and public relation events. \u201cShe is always the first person to ask where she can assist, giving\u00a0back even on her off days where she can be seen promoting the values of ChaseHealth in the\u00a0community at large, no matter what the activity may be. It could be a fundraiser for an employee in\u00a0need, a craft day with the residents, or a fundraiser for the facility. She is always there.\u201d Other staff\u00a0members added.<\/p>\n

ChaseHealth would like to invite the public to join the residents and staff members at a special\u00a0ceremony on August 17 th at 11am to celebrate Melanie\u2019s Honor. In addition to having the facility\u00a0recognize this very special employee, the New York State Legislature will recognize Mel with a\u00a0presentation of a legislative resolution certificate during this ceremony at ChaseHealth.<\/p>\n

All of the staff members and residents are so very proud and pleased to have an employee like Mel; her\u00a0presence makes the difference in the lives she touches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
