Thanks to the generosity of donors to the Warm Hearth Foundation’s Employee Growth & Development fund, 15 Warm Hearth employees across the Village received a total of $28,000 in scholarships this year. Scholarship funds will empower recipients to grow in their careers — whether by covering the cost of licenses and certifications, supporting specialized training, or helping with tuition for undergraduate or graduate degrees. This initiative is designed to recognize and invest in our team members’ professional development, while fostering a culture of learning, advancement, and opportunity.
The Foundation Board of Trustees reviewed all applications and made awards based on references provided, job performance and the scholarship’s ability to aid in career advancement at Warm Hearth. Tom Pierce, Chair of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees said, “It’s wonderful to have such strong donor support to recognize our employees who want to further their education and pursue advancement opportunities. Warm Hearth Village residents see the value of rewarding and retaining valued employees and recognize that it leads directly to higher quality care and services at Warm Hearth.”
