NYSHFA | NYSCAL values the many contributions from the community surrounding our member facilities. As we navigate through the demands of daily life in our long-term care communities, it is important to pause and acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our volunteers.
They are the heart of our healthcare community, and without their selfless service, many of our facilities would struggle to provide the exceptional level of care we aim to deliver.
These exceptional volunteers offer companionship, emotional support, and an overall sense of comfort to those we care for, and by recognizing their contributions, we validate their efforts and the important role they play in the overall care of our residents.
The following criteria apply to all of the “Volunteer of the Year” categories:
- Facilities entering nominations must be members in good standing with NYSHFA
- Nominees must have volunteered at least one full year at the nominating facility
- Winners in any category may not win in any two consecutive years
- Individuals or groups nominated in one category may not also be nominated in a separate category in the same year
