Oak Valley Hospital District recognized the service of 64 employees during its annual service awards luncheon held Jan. 21. Employees with five, 10, 15, 20 and 25 years of service were thanked with special certificates, pins, and awards. The 64 employees represent a combined 560 years of service to OVHD and to the health care of the community.
Wanting to create a healthier environment, hospital officals have decided to make the entire campus smoke free beginning January 1. Hospital CEO John Friel said the decision is similar to moves made by health care facilities regionally and locally in recent months. "Although we have had a smoke free facility for quite some time, our employees and physicians felt it would be beneficial to both patients and employees to expand that designation to all areas of our campus. It's just one more way in which we are working to keep people in our community healthy."
