Healthcare leaders to receive ‘Women of Distinction’ award

Harrison Senior Living

A group of employees at Chestnut Knoll in Boyertown managed to maintain perfect attendance throughout the pandemic, and, in keeping with tradition, the personal care and memory care community safely came together to celebrate these outstanding individuals.

Eleven employees were recognized for their perfect attendance record in 2020. Each was presented with a Visa gift card valued up to $500 and celebrated with residents and management, who were also present to express their gratitude.

“In a year full of unprecedented challenges, this group proved fearless,” Executive Director Shawn Barndt said. “They showed up for our residents, day in and day out. I can’t express enough how proud I am to lead a dedicated team. They unanimously agree that the motivation behind their success is their love for our residents!”

Chestnut Knoll is engrained in the Boyertown community and serves as one of the larger employers in the borough. Many employees have longstanding employment with Chestnut Knoll, and its notable reputation is due in large part to its caregivers and staff for serving its residents and clients for the past two decades.

“At Chestnut Knoll, we are neighbors helping neighbors and it’s a difference you can feel when you walk through the door,” Barndt said.

Congratulations to the following employees for achieving perfect attendance:

18 years: Kathy Flicker 4 years: Cindy Mehlman and Alexis Moyer

3 years: Samuel Gaugler and Shirley Harkins

2 year: Kayla Grebe 1 year: Kelly Rowley,

Amanda Garvey, Gussie Garvey, Anders Miller and Amy Hansen
