Every year at our staff retreat, we take time to honor and celebrate staff members who best represent our Core Values and one HCH-er at Heart.

Review this year's winners below!

HCH-er at Heart
Veronica McDonald, Credentialing Manager

“I had no idea my coworkers saw me as worthy of this award! I’m here because of the work that we do and the people I work with – the dignity, authenticity, hope, justice, passion and balance you each bring to our clients. I want to help make people’s lives better.

Together, we are part of that change.”

Dignity: Tony Hunter, Security Guard

“I believe that every life deserves a certain amount of dignity no matter the shell that carries it.”

Authenticity: Shawntez Spriggs, Desktop Support Analyst

“Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, 'This is the real me,' and when you have found that attitude, follow it.” – William James

Hope: Terry Clark, Addictions Counselor

“Hope means getting people to believe in something that is not visible but still attainable.”

Justice: Danny Resnick, Lead Mobile Clinic Provider

“Justice is what love looks like in public.”
– Dr. Cornel West

Passion: Andrea Shearer, Lead Coordinated Access Case Manager

“Every day, each of us battles a broken system. And every day, we’re given a new opportunity to find creative solutions to make that system work for our clients.”

Balance: Deirdre Hoey, Behavioral Health Therapist

“Practicing the balance between holding on and letting go is one of the most difficult yet rewarding challenges in life. When I help my clients balance their stress and isolation with relief and human connection, my job has purpose.”
