Toni Murdough Compassionate Care Award
Congratulations to Steve Osterhaus, Communications Coordinator at Guthrie Cortland Medical Center! Nominated by his peers, he was named the second winner of the annual Toni Murdough Compassionate Care Award.
Toni Murdough retired from Guthrie Cortland Medical Center in 2022. While her focus was on the patient experience, Toni’s “lead by example” mentality impacted patients and caregivers alike. Toni’s compassion toward all was overflowing as she walked the halls of GCMC.
As recipient of the annual “Toni” Award, Steve’s peers and leaders at Guthrie Cortland Medical Center believe he exemplifies our Mission, Vision, and Values in the way that Toni did during her decades-long service. It is in recognition of the compassion he shows daily at work, at home and in the community.

- Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital, Sayre Campus: Atrium
- Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital, Sayre Campus: Sumner Lobby
- Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital, Towanda Campus: Lobby
- Guthrie Troy Community Hospital: Lobby
- Guthrie Corning Hospital: Lobby
