In that spirit, we are proud to not only recognize and celebrate, but also nominate one of our very own Ms Mary Young, a direct support professional (DSP) who embodies this tenet day in and day out, for the 2024 Community Care Rx Healthcare Hero Award!
Supporting our individuals wholeheartedly and selflessly in our Residential department since 2013, Ms Mary's person-centered approach and performance epitomizes quality and humanity with her empathy, compassion, humility, and respect. Her communication skills, in particular, are exceptional--leading by listening first and making those she connects with feel seen, heard, and appreciated. In doing so, she offers choice with honor, dignity, and integrity.
Her steadfast application and dedication go beyond what we could ever expect from a direct support professional and her respect for others' beliefs while setting her own aside is remarkable. She will often take a more personalized approach by crafting a birthday cake from scratch rather than buying one from the store.
We commend her respect for humanity at all levels and applaud how it empowers her to have a more profound impact in the daily lives of the many people served. For these reasons, we celebrate and nominate Ms. Mary for Healthcare Hero of 2024 and wish her the best of luck as she is recognized by peers and colleagues from across the five boroughs at the United Nations (!) on November 14th!
Good luck and congratulations, Ms Mary!! Job well done and bravo!!
Sinergia is lucky to have you!!
