Teddi Lewis of Pastoral Care won the individual contest & the residents of Miller won the group contest for the MarketPlace Gift Shop’s 2020 Ugly Mask Competition. Each received holiday prize baskets and Teddi’s win even came on her 5 year anniversary with Riverside! Happy Holidays!

Thanks to the EPIC, IS, and Analytics team, our employee food pantry is covered for 5 weeks! Their $1,320 fundraising total is the highest raised by a single department to date!

Program Guidelines:

• Referrals must submit your name upon application and/or interview.

• RN referrals must have at least 1 year of experience as an RN.
• Only one referral bonus per hired RN or CNA. (In the event the same person is referred by more than one Riverside employee, the award will be based on the date the referral is received in Human Resources via application, interview or this referral form.)
