On Friday, Nov. 12, four Rose Blumkin Jewish Home employees received the annual Jack and Sonia Schrager 2021 Employee of the Year award. In addition to announcing the four winners, Chris Ulven, Executive Director, acknowledged how challenging it was to choose out of several dozen nominees. These winners consistently go above and beyond expectations and make RBJH a better place to be. They inspire others with their positive attitude and good work ethic and rarely miss a shift—Mazel Tov to the winners. From top: Melissa Bartling, CNA (three years of service), Christina Caniglia, Assistant Activities Director (two years of service), Laurie Pearson, LPN (20 Years of service), Sha Roh, CNA (15 years of service) and some of the many nominees.

Mary will be missed but we wish her the best on her new adventure into retirement!
