On April 12, 2019, the Deep River and District Hospital, Four Seasons Lodge and North Renfrew Family Health Team hosted the annual Employee Recognition Event where the staff service and Ernie Mielke awards are presented. Richard Bedard, President & CEO, expressed his thanks to staff for their ongoing support and was “pleased to honour the commitments that each staff member has made to our organization”. Bedard highlighted that, “it is the caring and compassion of employees across all areas of the organization who help fulfil our mission of caring for every person like a loved one”.
The Ernie Mielke Award is presented annually to an employee who has been nominated by their peers in recognition of their dedication, positivity and demonstration of the Mission, Vision and Values of the organization. This year the award was presented to Amanda Pleadwell, a Personal Support Worker who goes above and beyond to care for our Residents in the Four Seasons Lodge Long-Term Care Home. Amanda was recognized by her peers for her dedication to making each Resident feel special. Amanda has been known to spend her own free time styling Residents’ hair and helping them get ready for gatherings, parties, and holidays. Amanda’s compassion and patience in supporting our Residents was commended by her peers as well as by leadership. Amanda’s peers further noted the positive attitude, calm demeanor, and gift of laughter that she brings into our Long-Term Care Home.
The organization would like to extend congratulations to everyone who was nominated for the Ernie Mielke Award. All nominees this year work in clinical departments, and they each embody the organizational values of caring and excellence, among others.
This year, the organization awarded 5-year pins to eleven employees, 10-year pins to four employees, 15-year pins to five employees, 20-year pins to three employees, and a 25-year pin to one employee.
The organization would like to recognize and say thank all those who celebrated the service milestones at the Employee Recognition Event this year.
