Associates with five, 10 and 15 years of service with St. Joseph’s were honored at an awards luncheon last week in the Henley Restaurant at Belle Meade.

“St. Joseph’s appreciates your dedication and commitment to both our residents and the organization,” said John Capasso, president and CEO of St. Joseph of the Pines, before presenting associates with five years of service with lapel pins and certificates of recognition.

Associates who have contributed five years of service to St. Joseph of the Pines are Charles Cox, Leticia Fuentes, Glen Googe, Janice Grace, Jack Hill, Seneca McAllister, Donna Rhoades, Carolyn Smith, Nathan Summers and Lauren Young.

“I’ve enjoyed my years of service working for the residents and management of St. Joseph of the Pines,” said Young, who works at Belle Meade. “This has been a great learning opportunity and I thank God each day for the beautiful scenery he has enabled me to work in.”

Associates with 10 years of service to St. Joseph of the Pines, who received certificates of recognition and catalogs from which a gift of choice could be chosen are Bruce Burley, Rosemarie Keeler, Alice Lassiter, Russell Pait, and Patrick Wolf.

Queena McKoy, who works in nursing at St. Joseph’s Health Center, has contributed 15 years of service to the organization, and received a certificate of appreciation and a different catalog from which to select a gift.

“St. Joseph of the Pines is unique in so many ways,” Capasso said. “We’ve put into place different types of programs that recognize the contributions our associates make every day to our residents and our organization. On behalf of St. Joseph of the Pines, I’d like to thank you all for the contributions you’ve made throughout the years serving our residents and our patients and making St. Joseph of the Pines a better place.”

St. Joseph of the Pines Health System, a member of Catholic Health East, is sponsored by the Sisters of Providence and includes Belle Meade Resort Retirement, The Villas at Pine Knoll, The Overlook at Pine Knoll, The Coventry, The Health Center, and Providence Place.
