Lifetime Achievement

Today my husband and I went to the 2008 Lifetime Achievement Reception sponsored by the Licking Memorial Hospital Development Council held at The Reese Center on the OSU Newark/COTC Campus. It was a beautiful day and a very tasteful event. Many people from our community were recognized including:

• Nursing Awards for Clinical Excellence - Jamie Hartman, R.N. and Lisa Hayes, R.N.
• Managers of the Year - Rhonda Maddern, R.N. and Rob Thompson
• Volunteers of the Year - Janet Anderson and Elizabeth Ann Wood

Also mentioned was the 100 Top Hospitals Award given to Licking Memorial Hospital for the 9th time. Quite an impressive achievement. The afternoon ended with the two top awards of:

• Building a Healthier Community Award - Hospice of Central Ohio Bereavement Services
• Lifetime Achievement Award - Glenn F. Abel

Congratulations to these deserving recipients and to Licking Memorial Hospital.

Teach Them Early

It is never too young to teach a child about money. Kudos to Fiberglass Credit Union and Jay Young, President and CEO for hosting a tour of their Heath facility to the students of Playschool Kids Care.

Nice job!
