Keswick Celebrates National “Healthcare Worker” Week
From May 14th-18th, Keswick will celebrate National “Healthcare Worker” Week to recognize the hard work and dedication of our many talented employees.
The theme for this year’s event is Celebrating the Journey. “This theme reminds us that every life’s story needs to be told and every day we have the chance to begin writing a new chapter,” explains Clifton Scott, Keswick’s Director of Human Resources. “Through the quiet routines of daily caregiving, our residents, participants and employees are co-authors and leading characters in each other’s life story.”
Special activities and events are scheduled throughout the week to thank employees, including a scavenger hunt, an employee cook-out, a spirit-building “Colors Campaign” in which employees are encouraged to wear designated colors for the chance to win prizes, and a Service Recognition Awards Celebration and Dinner honoring employees who have reached a milestone service anniversary this year.
We hope you will join us in thanking Keswick employees for their service!
