Employee Activities

Sterling Health Care was one of several local organizations to attend a College and Career Day event held by the Nicholas Co. Youth Service Center on Friday, April 17. SHC had two tables at the event, one of which shared information on behavioral health and community outreach services, while the other shared information on employment with Sterling Health Care and the healthcare field. Representatives from the organization were Brittanie Royse, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor; Ashley McNabb, Psychologist; Shauna Brunner, Community Health Worker; Mindy Linville, Pharmacist; and Norma Brock, Human Resources Administrative Assistant.

Several Sterling Health Care (SHC) departments were represented at the Bath County Health and Career Fair. Members of the company's Human Resources (HR), Clinical, and Vision departments were all in attendance at the event, which took place at the Bath Co. Extension Office in Owingsville. Those who visited the health fair were given the opportunity to receive free blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), blood glucose, and A1C checks from SHC's clinical staff. Through the career fair, attendees were able to meet with local employers, learn about part-time and full-time job positions, and receive on-site resume and job interview assistance.

Braving cooler temperatures and an overcast sky, several Sterling Health Care (SHC) representatives were on hand when the Paris-Bourbon County Chamber of Commerce hosted the Tour de Paris 5K Walk/Run event on the streets of the county seat. SHC was a tier supporter for the event, which started and finished at the iconic Eiffel Tower on Main Street in Paris. A large number of participants were on hand for the event, which featured a course highlighting some of the community's favorite sights and celebrated the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence signing. McKayla Hatfield, a full-time University of Kentucky student who also works in SHC's nursing department when schedule allows, ran in the 5K and finished fifth in her age division with a time of 35 minutes. She is pictured with a few members of the SHC translation/interpretation team who joined Marketing and Communications Director Jeff Pinkerton at the booth for the morning. Pictured, from left, are Darling Sandoval, Hatfield, Jose Diaz, and Jennifer Panzo. Visitors to the SHC booth, located at the start/finish line, received informational material as well as access to a variety of promotional items.

Sterling Health Care (SHC) clinics received a visit from the Easter Bunny ahead of the April 5 holiday. SHC's own Jennifer Gilvin donned the costume to take pictures with patients and employees at each location throughout the day.

Sterling Health Care's (SHC) Winchester location was the venue for one employee's special day earlier this month, with receptionist Kaitlin Letendre marrying her partner of one year at the clinic. After previous plans for a last-minute wedding fell through, the employees at SHC-Winchester pulled together a ceremony at the clinic, officiated by SHC's own Brittany Robinson, Advanced Practice Registered Nurse. “I have only been with SHC for nine months, but I feel like I have known my coworkers for more than that,” Letendre said. “Without the amazing people I work with, our wedding wouldn't have been as special. It's a great example to show that SHC works as a team within the work-space as well as friend and community.”

Sterling Health Care (SHC) employees from every location wore blue clothing to raise awareness for colon cancer. Staff members from SHC-Stanton can be seen above, showing their support for the fight against cancer.

Several Sterling Health Care (SHC) employees gathered at the SHC Administration to put together gift bags for local breast cancer patients. The bags featured a variety of items and activities for those who receive them, including self-care items, head scarves, and comfort items such as blankets and pillows. SHC is partnering with CHI Saint Joseph Health in Mount Sterling, as well as with other local organizations, to distribute these gifts and impact the lives of patients within the Gateway Region. Employees can be seen above as they prepared and filled bags for the project.
