Support and dedication to the health and well-being of residents helped make the Pinecrest Community the 2009 Business of the Year. Carol Davis, Pinecrest’s CEO, learned that her facility was selected as the Business of the Year during the annual Oregon Area Chamber of Commerce dinner on April 30.
“This is so cool.” Davis said after receiving the award from Father Richard Kramer. “I am so glad to be a part of this team. I came to Pinecrest five years ago.”
Davis had other Pinecrest representatives come up to the podium to be recognized with her. Mary Jo Griffin, Pinecrest’s CFO, Jerry Griffin, a board member, and Brent Good, from plant operations, were introduced to the audience.
Kramer read a letter about Pinecrest during the announcement of Pinecrest.
“This facility has been a vital part of the western Ogle County community since 1893, starting with the Brethren Home, then developing into Pinecrest Nursing Home in 1961,” read Kramer. “In the 1980s and 1990s, Pinecrest Village Apartments and Pinecrest Terrace were developed.”
He said during the past two years, the development of Pinecrest Grove began.
“At the center of the Grove is the new Pinecrest Community Center with its 154 seat theater for live productions that can be a joy for the entire community,” read Kramer. The Pinecrest Community has supported education as part of its mission, read Kramer. Pinecrest has been a part of the education of medical students for the University of Illinois College of Medicine and the nursing training program of Highland Community College.
“Pinecrest employees have been long appreciated for their involvement with the community, both in going the extra mile to help their residents, and in serving in many other community activities,” read Kramer.
The Loaves and Fish Food Pantry is also supported by the Pinecrest Community.
“Because of this facility’s ongoing dedication to the health and well-being of people in Oregon and our area, the Oregon Chamber of Commerce is proud to present the Pinecrest Community with the award of Business of the Year,” said Kramer.
