Celebrating Our Dedicated Team: 2025 Employee Recognition Event

October 24, 2025 – St. Augustine Health Ministries hosted its annual Employee Recognition Dinner — a wonderful evening of food, laughter, and gratitude. With 120 team members in attendance, we came together to celebrate the people who make our mission possible every day.

We honored milestone anniversaries and achievements from across our ministries — including St. Augustine Health Campus, The Towers Assisted Living, Holy Family Home Health Care & Hospice, and the Child Enrichment Center — recognizing years of service ranging from 5 to 40 years.

Among this year’s honorees were several longtime leaders whose guidance and commitment continue to shape our ministry:

  • Kristin Graham, Director of Holy Family Hospice – 30 years
  • Rick Meserini, President & CEO – 10 years
  • Elayne Newcomb, Administrator, St. Augustine Health Campus – 5 years

We also celebrated the remarkable dedication of those marking milestone anniversaries:

  • 40 Years: Tom Peabody
  • 30 Years: Carmen Delgado, Brian Bluckman, Edward Miorrish
  • 25 Years: Lori Dever, Destiny Ganss, Sue Angle, Marc Gluckman, Jacki Dodds
  • 20 Years: Melissa Burton, Michael Peabody, Sr. Margaret Mary McAuliffe

In addition, we recognized employees celebrating 15, 10, and 5 years of service — each contributing their unique gifts and compassion to the mission we share.

Three beloved retirees were also honored for their years of care, leadership, and friendship.

Our Employee Excellence Awards, chosen by peer nominations, honored those who go above and beyond in living our mission of compassionate care:

  • Marche Spencer – St. Augustine Health Campus- Nursing
  • Meshelle Curd – The Towers Assisted Living
  • Jamie Foster – Holy Family Home Health Care & Hospice
