Every year, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center (PPMC) hosts a celebration for employees celebrating service anniversaries. This year’s fitting theme is “Celebrating PPMC Superheroes,” in honor of 371 employees with various service milestones, anywhere from 5 years all the way to 45 years.
“It’s great to see the level of commitment to Presby, and the health system as a whole,” said Zene Colt, MBA, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, human resources manager at PPMC. “We are so excited to honor the service of our staff again this year.”
This year, there are two employees celebrating 45 years at PPMC: David Scott, a respiratory therapy equipment technician, and Eric Smith, a radiology technician.
There are also two employees celebrating 40 years at PPMC: Diane Andrews, RN, an OR nurse, and Barbara Oakes, in Patient Progression.
The celebration, in its 55th year, includes remarks from PPMC CEO Michele Volpe, Chief Human Resources Officer Margorie Michele, MPA, PhD, and other senior team members, to highlight achievements of staff. The event will also include a presentation from a soon-to-be-announced guest speaker.
“The number of employees celebrating milestones this year highlights the level of commitment staff has to their work here at Penn Medicine,” Michele said. “Congratulations to all PPMC staff members celebrating milestones this year, and thanks for your dedication! This celebration is much deserved.”
