The Northern Wisconsin Long Term Care Workforce hosted a caregivers conference Feb. 14 that included a recognition and awards ceremony. Several caregivers from the northern territory were recognized as star performers, including Tina Hansen from Aspirus VNA Home Health.

Hansen and the other top performers were awarded a plaque and a gift basket that included gift certificates and various items totaling more than $150. The Star Performer Program recognizes employees in long term care who go above and beyond in providing high quality care and exceptional customer service. The three winners were chosen by a subcommittee, which chose from numerous nomination forms submitted by directors and coworkers.

Hansen provides home health, personal care and supportive home care through the Aspirus VNA Rhinelander office.
