At CHCC, we believe in celebrating the exceptional contributions of our team members. Each month, the Shining Star recognition honors individuals. These honorees exemplify dedication, compassion and excellence in their work, inspiring others and enhancing the quality of care we provide. CHCC is a premier skilled nursing center in Whatcom County because of their efforts.

Our non-nursing Shining Star is Kari G. She has been on the CHCC team since 2023 and has served as a nursing assistant, scheduler and now volunteer coordinator.
Coworkers who nominated her wrote:
- “She brings many talents to her work and a positive spirit wherever she goes.”
- “Kari is doing an amazing job as volunteer coordinator, recruiting new volunteers, helping current volunteers feel appreciated and tailoring each experience to their interests.”
- “Kari is doing an excellent job in her current role!”
We couldn’t agree more. Congratulations, Kari, and thank you for all you do.

Our nursing Shining Star is Sue P. (LPN): Sue has been part of the CHCC team for 10 years and currently serves as our MDS nurse. Coworkers shared the following:
- “She brings a wealth of experience and has stepped in over the years to support on the floor, assist with audits and provide education when needed.”
- “Sue has a strong commitment to person-centered care and is a champion of treating others with kindness and respect.”
- “Sue is a pleasure to work with. She is smart, caring and compassionate. She is a strong MDS nurse who is accurate and ethical in her work.”
Sue, you are a Shining Star. Thank you for all you do and all you bring to our team.
