HCHC Associates recognized for professional growth

Henry County Health Center (HCHC) is pleased to recognize 41 associates who participated in HCHC?s Career Ladder Program.

The Career Ladder was developed to promote professional enrichment and growth for every HCHC Associate. This program endorses HCHC?s vision to be the healthcare provider and employer of choice.

The purpose of HCHC?s Career Ladder is to recognize, facilitate and compensate associates for demonstrating increasing levels of excellence through personal accountability, professional practice, leadership and customer service. HCHC strives to provide opportunities for development and recognition of staff excellence.

The program encourages all staff to excel at their current position or take the initiative for professional growth in their field, thereby enhancing quality of care, improving patient outcomes and promoting patient satisfaction and staff engagement and retention. Participation in the Career Ladder Program also enhances our community by advocating service and leadership in community activities and organizations.

?The program is structured, yet allows associates to pursue their own interests within that structure. Associates pursue personal development in HCHC?s pillars, including People, Service, Community, Quality, Finance, and Growth. With the number and diversity of associates participating, this covers a lot. It is impressive to see the impact this is making on both the HCHC community and the local community. This program encourages associates to stretch themselves, grow, and use their leadership skills at HCHC and in our community,? explained Lynn Humphreys, Human Resources Director.
