Each year, Goodwill Industries of the Valley holds an Annual Awards Ceremony to recognize those who have made Goodwill’s service during the past year possible. During the ceremony, Goodwill recognizes individuals who received services from Goodwill and are now working and continuing to excel, as well supporters in the community who have supported the Goodwill mission and the people who needed a hand up, not a hand out that Goodwill provides.

At the event, which took place May 7th at the Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center, we’re pleased to announce that Radford Health & Rehab Center was honored with the Employer of the Year Award! We’re excited to be given this award and to partner with a great organization, like Goodwill.

Receiving the award, on behalf of Radford Health & Rehab Center, was our human resources generalist, Ken Keeling. was there to receive the award.  Ken said, “On behalf of Radford Health & Rehab and Commonwealth Care of Roanoke, thank you very much. It has been a pleasure working with Goodwill and Goodcare and we remain committed to providing a welcoming and stable place of employment for the graduates of your healthcare programs. Thank you.”

Also, we asked Mary Ann Gilmer, Vice President Mission Services about the award, “Radford Health & Rehab Center has been an instrumental partner for Goodwill. Ken Keeling and the entire team at Radford Health and Rehab have engaged with our health care training students, hired program graduates, and served as valuable members of our business advisory group.
