Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital honored more than 250 employees for their longstanding commitment to the hospital and Emory Healthcare at the recent Years of Service awards ceremony. The program recognized individuals for each five years of continuous service completed up to 35 years, and recipients were presented with a Saint Joseph's cross pin by the hospital's senior management.

"Each year, we are honored to celebrate the accomplishments that our employees have achieved. These milestones of service - from five to 35 years - reflect the commitment and dedication they have for our patients, families and visitors," says Heather Dexter, CEO of Emory Saint Joseph's. Employees Donna Duncan, Carolyn Harness, Janet Smith, Merville Tracey and Sharon Young were commended for 35 years of service to the hospital.
