On Nov. 12, Riverwood Healthcare Center honored 34 employees and retirees who have celebrated milestone anniversaries or retirement in 2015 at a special dinner at Ruttger’s. Their collective years of service totals 624!
The program focused on celebrating the honored employees individually and included sharing of valued contributions the respective employees have made to Riverwood over the years.
Chad Cooper, Riverwood CEO, highlighted the tremendous team of health care professionals who make Riverwood what it is today. “We are here this evening, in part, to celebrate key milestone anniversaries for all those being recognized, but more importantly to say thank you for all that you do,” Cooper said. “It takes a special person to work in health care and we are blessed to have such an incredible group of people who make a difference in the lives of the patients and communities we serve.”
