The results are in and seven winners have been selected to receive Life Improved Awards. Today we're honoring Bonnie Hitsman and Billie Jo Thornhill.
Nominations were scored based on four criteria - improvement to the lives of others, embodiment the U.H. mission, examples provided show work above and beyond the duties of their job description, and the number of nominations received.
Both Bonnie and Billie Jo work as MDSPs for Mosaic at the day hab complex. They were each presented with a United Helpers Life Improved T-Shirt.
Here's just some of what people had to say about Billie Jo and Bonnie.
"We had a resident that was sent to Burlington over the 4th of July weekend for a medical concern. He was placed in the ICU and had a family member staying with him until we could find some employees to be with him. Being a holiday weekend it was difficult for us to find hospital coverage right away. These two employees could not help with providing shift coverage throughout the entire weekend, but because they knew this resident would be anxious and the family member was unsure of staying with him, they took time out of their personal life to travel to Burlington to see John and his family member for a couple of hours on Friday July 4th. This really comforted the resident and family member."
Over the next several days, the three remaining winners will be notified by surprise and announced here. Each winner's photo will also be posted on the United Helpers' Facebook page.
Billie Jo and Bonnie join Allen Mills and Cindi Corbine from RiverLedge, as already announced Life Improved Award winners.
Twenty-one employees received nominations and each nominee will receive a small token of appreciation for the work they do to help improve the lives of the people we serve.
