At CHCC, we believe in celebrating the contributions of our team members. Each month, the Shining Star recognition honors two individuals: one from the nursing department and one from other departments. These honorees show dedication, compassion and excellence in their work, inspiring others and maintaining the quality of care we provide. CHCC is a premier skilled nursing center in Whatcom County because of their efforts.
Emily A.: Emily works in the therapeutic recreation (T-Rec) department as the assistant director. She is also a NAC.
Colleagues have shared their thoughts about her:
“Emily is known to give 110% every day! She helps on the floor with transfers, etc., while working in T-Rec and also fills shifts as an NAC when needed.”
“She is much loved by our residents because she takes time to listen and get to know them.”
“She is always thinking about ways to get more people involved in activities and how to make the activity room more inviting throughout the day.”
“Emily demonstrates a sincere commitment to our mission.”
Congratulations, Emily, and thank you for everything you do! We are so fortunate to have you with us.
