The Rise to the Occasion Recognition is given to individuals who see a need within the agency and go above and beyond to fill that need.

Congratulations to Niki Orologio, Hedgerow House Community Residence Case Manager, as the October Rise to the Occasion Recognition recipient!

Nikie is a great team player and helps new team members in anyway she can. “I am always asking questions and Niki always has the answers,” says one of her coworkers. “If she does not, she will find someone who does.”  Nikki helps with any sought our advice – from filling out a resident’s chart to finding files on the computer. She is always pleasant and is a great communicator. Niki is a pleasure to work with and goes above and beyond to stop what she is in the middle of in order to offer assistance.

Thank you Nicole for being such a great team player!
