Three Finger Lakes Health employees have been recognized with the Distinguished Values Award.

The Distinguished Values Award program selects employees every quarter for the honor. The honorees are selected from three categories: Hospital, Long Term Care, and Physician Network. These staff members are selected for consistently demonstrating organizational values and exceeding their job requirements. The awards are granted in recognition of those employees who demonstrate professionalism and who serve as role models within Finger Lakes Health. Congratulations to:

  • Joy Gladis, Medical Secretary, Lifecare Medical Associates – the Physician Network honoree;

All Finger Lakes Health Employees of the Quarter are eligible for the Employee of the Year honor. That award is announced in May each year at Finger Lakes Health’s annual Employee Recognition event, held in conjunction with National Hospital and Nursing Home Weeks.
