Recognizing Our Employee Family
On February 25, 2012, we celebrated our wonderful employees by recognizing their accomplishments in 2011. The event shined a spotlight on employees reaching 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 years of continuous service. Additionally, Shining Star recipients; Circle of Excellence awardees; the Ambassadors, Leader and Physician of the Year were announced. We want to extend a BIG thank you to our employees, for without their enthusiasm and dedication, Carson Tahoe wouldn’t be what it is today.
