At Tanager, we are proud to recognize the outstanding contributions of our team members who go above and beyond to support our mission. During our recent agency holiday party, we honored three exceptional recipients with our annual awards, celebrating their dedication, leadership, and commitment to excellence.
Eleanor Lund Award for Excellence in Leadership
The Eleanor Lund Award recognizes leaders who embody Tanager’s mission, guiding their teams with unwavering dedication and ensuring the highest quality of care for youth and families. Joella Gerber exemplifies these values in every aspect of her work. She is a champion of optimism, collaboration, and inclusion, always believing in the potential of those around her. Whether advocating for staff and clients, mentoring new professionals, or stepping up wherever needed, Joella’s leadership strengthens our organization and empowers those she serves.
Lisa Miller Soaring Above Award
Named in memory of our beloved colleague Lisa Miller, this award honors individuals who consistently bring compassion, dedication, and enthusiasm to their work. Katie Standarski, PIH Care Coordinator is a shining example of this spirit. She tirelessly supports her clients, ensuring their needs are met and helping them navigate life’s challenges. Her kindness and willingness to go the extra mile inspire both colleagues and the families she serves. Katie’s unwavering commitment to making a difference reflects the very heart of Tanager’s mission.
Atlas Award for Operational Excellence
Behind the scenes, the Mental Wellbeing Clinic Office Specialist Team plays a vital role in ensuring the smooth operation of our services. The Atlas Award recognizes those who contribute to efficiency, innovation, and outstanding support—qualities this team exemplifies daily. Their dedication to streamlining processes, maintaining a welcoming environment, and providing crucial administrative support allows Tanager to deliver the best possible care to our clients. Their hard work is essential to our success, and we are grateful for their efforts.
