Janina Orzechowska, Function Coordinator – Employee of the Year 2010 

Janina is an absolute joy with whom to work each day. Janina's work ethic and enthusiasm for being a team player and always going the extra mile for everyone at HSC is unparalleled. Her positive, can-do attitude; friendliness and warmth are infectious. Her commitment to each task or project is unwavering and her tireless spirit should be emulated. She is always offering to do more, or take the initiative to make things easier and/or to render a more efficient and successful outcome.

Janina consistently goes beyond the expectations of her performance requirements. As Function Coordinator, her work schedule is never the same. She maintains a high degree of flexibility in order to accommodate all of HSC's catering needs. Few realize that she may have many catering requests on the same day, all for delivery at the same time. In addition to her responsibility as Function Coordinator, she is also a cook, often assigned the dual role of catering and patient meal service. She always gets everything done on time and delivered with a smile.

Not many people realize how much love and care she puts into everything she does. She is always striving to create and improve, such as using a special herb or vegetable so that the garnish on a platter will be just right. Janina's spirit of cooperation and her superior customer service skills have gone far in improving our environment at HSC, as her efforts have contributed to some of our best social events, due to her attention to every detail.

Janina Orzechowska was also honored as the Employee of the Month for November 2009. Congratulations, Janina! This esteemed recognition, and award as Employee of the Year, is so well deserved.
