A large number of GV Health staff have been recognised at the hospital’s Annual Service Recognition Awards 2017 celebrating the achievements of those who have reached certain milestones in their years of service.
Awards for 10, 15, 20 and 25 years of service were given out at special lunches and afternoon teas held at three of GV Health’s sites including Rushworth, Tatura and the Graham Street campus.
A cocktail party was held at Cellar 47 in Shepparton for staff who achieved milestones of 30, 35 and 40 years of service, with GV Health Board Chair Rebecca Woolstencroft and GV Health Chief Executive Officer Trevor Saunders handing out the awards and congratulating staff for their outstanding commitment to the health service.
“A big congratulations and thank you to all of our staff today and to those that have previously received an award in recognition of length of service,” Mr Saunders said.
“It’s also great to see so many people here supporting their colleagues.”
Ms Woolstencroft said she was in awe of those who had provided such an excellent level of service for such a long time.
