Providing quality health care requires more than offering advanced technology – it’s also about the people behind those innovations. That’s why Sparrow Clinton Hospital in St. Johns takes time each year to recognize the many contributions of its Caregivers.
The hospital’s annual Service Recognition Banquet honors Caregivers for their many years of service, providing quality care and comfort to patients.
“Sparrow Clinton Hospital’s growth and success depends upon our many dedicated, highly skilled Caregivers,” said Ed Bruun, Sparrow Clinton Hospital President and CEO. “I have never worked with a better group of people. We celebrate the contributions they make every day, providing quality, compassionate care.”
Certificates of recognition were presented March 26 to those celebrating service anniversaries of five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 years. Caregivers with 25 or more years of service also were honored for their outstanding service.
