HVHC Celebrates Everyday Heroes

  Hudson Valley Hospital Center celebrates everyday heroes; 2011 Wall of Heroes is an example of why HVHC is one of the top places to work. 

WHEN:  Tuesday, October 11, 11 a.m.

WHERE: Lobby of Hudson Valley Hospital Center, 1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor.

WHAT:  On Oct. 11 at 11 a.m., Hudson Valley Hospital Center will unveil its Wall of Heroes at a ceremony in the lobby of the Hospital at 1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor.

This year, 11 employees are being honored.  Employees live in Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess counties. Each month the Hospital recognizes an employee who has been nominated by co-workers. At the end of the year that employee is honored at the Heroes Ceremony and their portrait hung on the wall along the front corridor of the Hospital, where it remains for the year.

“It’s really a very impressive sight, and the ceremony is very moving,’’ said Hudson Valley Hospital President John C. Federspiel.

“When you walk down the corridor and see these 3-foot high portraits on the wall, it really makes a statement about how we feel about our employees. It’s something they and their families can be proud of, not just for one day, but for the entire year. That benefits everyone: the employees, the patients and the community.’’
