Staff recognition, education, opportunity and empowerment through programs such as our monthly Hero awards, annual Giraffe awards and signature programs such as The Juniper Experience, Juniper University and R.E.S.P.E.C.T are important Juniper hallmarks. On June 17, 2020, coworkers honored Joanne Thomson of the Wellspring community with a Hero award for her outstanding job performance. Kim Soto was also selected by her coworkers to receive the Hero award for the assisted living community – the Village. Both Kim and Joanne earned this honor as a result of their willingness to always go above and beyond, empathetic and compassionate care and dedication to Juniper Village at Williamstown’s residents. The award winners received a certificate, a gift card and a Hero parking space along with a celebration where everyone’s favorite treats, Mister Softie, were enjoyed by all. Congratulations Joanne and Kim, we’re proud to have you on our team!!
