The Visiting Nurse Association of Albany, Saratoga and Rensselaer recently celebrated their 28th year of Staff Recognition. Started in the early 1980’s as a way to say ‘thank you’ to their employees, the VNA’s annual Staff Recognition has evolved into an event that brings employees and management together for a reception to honor staff for dedicated and outstanding service.
This year’s event was held on November 30th. Twenty-six employees were honored along with Ann Bradley of Albany with 35 years of service.
The VNA also honors one employee each year with the “Grace Roznowski Award”. This award is given to any employee who provides outstanding service, emulates the spirit of the award and/or contributes to the goals of the Visiting Nurse Association of Albany. Barbara Joralemon-Rogers of Slingerlands was this years recipient.
