Highlighting Our Employees Who Make a Difference

Genacross celebrates employees who give of themselves each day to enrich the lives of our residents, patients, clients and colleagues. These award winners serve with compassion and empathy, and they exemplify our values.

It’s evident they see their work as a calling. While they don’t seek recognition, we want to show them how important they are to the Genacross family.

2022 EMPLOYEES OF THE YEAR

These employees embody the Genacross Mission and Values to the fullest extent and demonstrate exceptional organizational commitment. They motivate others to excel, lead by example, and strive to better those around them and the organization as a whole. These individuals share knowledge willingly and always can be seen helping and supporting fellow co-workers through teamwork. In every way, these employees are professional and ethical.

This year, the award goes to two individuals:

Regina Garcia

Regina Garcia, a Registered Nurse with Genacross at Home, has been with our home health agency for over one year. Regina helps the Genacross at Home team achieve excellent energy daily through her great personality. She is always willing to help any Genacross team member out, has a collaborative mindset, remains professional with team members and patients, and is hardworking. She has faced several unfavorable work situations with a positive attitude, and she keeps the best interests of her patients in mind at all times. Regina’s empathy for everyone shines through in her daily work.

Terry Jackson

Terry Jackson, Team Leader at the Maumee Youth Center (MYC) for Genacross Family & Youth Services, has a calm and compassionate approach to any youth he engages. Terry treats the youth served like his own and works hard to help them meet their goals and improve in the daily functioning areas of their lives. He participates in meetings with professionals involved with the case planning for the youth and, in doing so, shares both their progress and areas of continued need that we will focus on. In addition to being our strongest, most consistent and supportive staff member, he also does a great deal for his co-workers. He mentors most of the new staff hired for the Maumee Youth Center and picks up a multitude of shifts. Everyone knows they can count on Terry at a moment’s notice and our ministry is better because of him.

Thank you, Regina and Terry, for your dedication, professionalism and compassion. Congratulations on being named the 2022 Employees of the Year!
