The dining services 
team at Huron County Medical Care are dedicated to providing the best 
dining experience for their residents and they all work very hard at 
maintaining a safe and sanitary kitchen in order
 to provide this exceptional service. The director and assistant 
director of dining services wanted to show their appreciation to the 
staff during National Healthcare Foodservice Workers week. The special 
week of recognition this year was October 3 thru the
 9th. HCMCF dining services staff were showered with special 
treats each day demonstrating the managers’ appreciation for all their 
hard work and dedication to their residents.
On Monday donuts were provided with a note saying “We DONUT know what we would do without awesome employees like you!”
Tuesday each team 
member wore a badge of honor showing just what their directors think of 
them! It read “My boss thinks I’m kind of a big deal!” Many staff wore 
them with pride throughout the rest of the week.
Staff “rocked” on Wednesday. Pop rocks were handed out with a memo telling them “You Rock!”
Thursday a best 
dressed apron contest was held. Team members were encouraged to wear any
 special or favorite apron of their choice. Office staff at the facility
 were the judges and two employees were awarded
 brand new uniform aprons with the facility’s new logo printed on them.
Friday closed out 
the week of appreciation with “I Scream, You Scream, We all Scream for 
this team!”  ice cream bars. This was a special treat for the staff 
because every time the assistant director has to
 run to the store for food or supplies, the staff always request that 
she bring back some Klondike bars which she always “forgets” to get for 
them!
Many times dining 
service staff work behind the scenes and do not get recognition for 
their dedication. But during National Healthcare Foodservice Workers 
week the staff took pride in their hard work as they
 were in the spotlight and made to feel appreciated!
