SOVEREIGN HEALTHCARE EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION PROGRAM

Our partners at Sovereign Healthcare have established an employee recognition program to acknowledge employees who have provided exceptional levels of service. The program marks the achievements and contributions of the many employees who have extended their efforts beyond the day-to-day performance of their duties which contributes to the success of the organization.
