Annie has worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant for 18 years and has made a tremendous impact on our patients and organization. She was nominated for the award by a patient that stated Annie had been a true blessing to her during her recovery, both physically and emotionally. She stated Annie performed all her tasks willingly and with a smile, gentleness, and a caring heart. “Annie is a true asset to the Sovah Health team and deserves the highest of commendations for the excellent care and service provided. This type of care aids a person in starting the journey of recovery – not just physically, but also emotionally which many times is far more important.” The patient stated that Annie truly made a difference in her life, and she will always remember her kindness.
