Schervier Nursing Care Center Announces Ann Marie Brown as January’s “Values in Action” Award Recipient

Bon Secours New York Health System, Schervier Nursing Care Center, located in the Riverdale section of The Bronx, is proud to announce that Ann Marie Brown is the January 2013 Values in Action award winner.

Schervier Nursing Care Center presents the Values in Action award monthly to honor an individual who embodies the core values that Bon Secours upholds, including delivering a high quality of care and service to each resident with compassion, respect, integrity and justice. Deserving candidates are nominated for the award by their peers for going above and beyond to provide an extra measure of care. Brown, a key team member in Schervier’s dietary department, was selected for the award, for consistently contributing to enjoyable dining experiences for each resident.

“Ann Marie is well-deserving of this award, as she is admired by many of her colleagues, and truly appreciated by our residents,” said Stephen Kazanjian, Director of Mission at Schervier Nursing Care Center.   “She goes above and beyond her role in the dietary department, striving to provide residents with exceptional experiences every time they visit our dining facility. Ann Marie is always very polite and a positive individual. She takes the time to form relationships with each resident and learn their preferences, to deliver a more personable service and experience.”
