“We are extremely proud to have earned this certification for the fifth year in a row,” said Lana Birch, wellness coordinator at Community Hospital. “It’s because of our staff’s engagement in our wellness program that we are able to achieve this distinguished recognition and integrate wellness into our workplace culture.”

Tawny Espinoza, vice president of business development at Community Hospital, agreed. “To receive this recognition five years in a row speaks volume in terms of our commitment to championing health and wellness in our organization and throughout the community,”
she said.
