Donald Philogenes

Congratulations to Donald Philogenes on winning the April 2017 Ceca Award! Last month we celebrated his award at Forest Hills with some of the nice things people had to say about him:

"Donald is very unassuming and quiet. If he's given a task he puts his all into it and takes care of it. If he is setting up the assembly hall single-handedly, or breaking it down again without a blink, it's never a never a question for Donald! He is receptive to both staff and resident requests."

Thank you to Donald for all you do for our residents and our community!

Major Wanda Mitchell

An excerpt from the nomination that landed Major Wanda Mitchell the "Nurse of the Year" award from DCHCA:

"Our nominee has had a very exciting and productive career as a nurse. As a Director of Nursing (DON), our nominee manages the nursing department and supervises all clinical activities. Because her responsibilities are so typical for any facility's DON, you might ask what makes our nominee different. The answer is simple: she performs her duties as DON on a full time basis, while simultaneously fulfilling her responsibilities as a full time, active-duty RN Case Manager in the US Army.

In August of 2014, our nominee was called from her Army Reserve status to serve as a Case Manager for the Wounded Warrior Project at Fort Belvoir, Virginia...When the initial assignment was up in August of 2016, her orders were extended indefinitely. She was only able to obtain permission from her military superiors to allocate 1 day per week to work her civilian job, but she knew that would not be enough time to run her department. She decided that she would work for the Army 4 days each week until 5PM when her office closed, go home to change into civilian clothes, and then report to our facility at 6."
