In a ceremony on April 27, the Highmark Health organization honored dedicated employees for their outstanding volunteer work by presenting them with Jefferson Awards for Public Service and a monetary contribution for the nonprofit organization of their choice.
Highmark Health is one of 25 U.S. organizations that serve as Jefferson Awards Champions, bringing to the workplace the highest honor for public service, established more than four decades ago by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and other public figures.
As a Jefferson Awards Champion, Highmark Health annually recognizes employees who reflect the awards' value that each citizen is responsible for working to improve life in their communities through economic participation, public service, volunteerism and other efforts.
"Each year, when we honor employees through the Jefferson Awards, I am overwhelmed by their level of public service. This year, I am amazed — and inspired — once again," said Dan Onorato, executive vice president, Highmark Health.
Dr. Lauren Simko, Pharm.D., director of pharmacy sales for Highmark Inc., from Bethel Park, was selected as Highmark Health's overall winner and will represent the company at the National Jefferson Awards Conference in Washington, D.C. in June.
Among the Highmark Health employees honored at the ceremony were local residents:
• Carley Kimmell, Highmark Inc. (Castle Shannon)
• Dr. Lauren Simko, Pharm.D., Highmark Inc. (Bethel Park)
