Upper Allegheny Health System (UAHS), the local healthcare network in the region, parent company of Bradford Regional Medical Center (BRMC) and Olean General Hospital (OGH) is recognizing employees for their years of service within the organization. 

Every year UAHS recognizes employees who have met years of service milestones at five-year increments starting at an employee’s fifth anniversary.  Each employee is awarded a special gift, commemorative years of service booklet, and certificate of recognition.

“It has been a rough couple of years. We’ve dealt with and continue to deal with many obstacles,” said Jill Owens, MD, president, BRMC, OGH.  “Through the COVID-19 pandemic, the great resignation leading to staffing shortages and among other factors, our team continues to choose to be a part of the UAHS family.”

Even through these obstacles, this year UAHS recognizes 142 employees totaling 1920 years of service!   The organization would like to recognize employees ranging from their fifth anniversary up through an employee celebrating their 45^th anniversary at UAHS.
