For the second year in a row, Tega Cay resident Jenni Cairns has been named the BAYADA Hearts for Home Care Ambassador of the Year for South Carolina. Jenni received the award at a ceremony held in Washington D.C. last month.
BAYADA Hearts for Home Care is a nonprofit advocacy organization of home health care recipients, professionals and supporters. The annual Ambassador of the Year award ceremony recognizes the efforts of over 300 BAYADA Home Health Care employees who volunteer their time to serve as Ambassadors, building relationships with their state and federal lawmakers.
Jenni’s attendance at community events, collection of client and family testimonies, response to action alerts and the fact she testified in front of the Ways and Means Committee were cited as reasons she stood out. Her compassion and willingness to strongly advocate on behalf of her clients were also recognized upon receipt of the award.
“Jenni has not only shown compassion and commitment to advocacy—but has also inspired her colleagues to be passionate advocates on behalf of all home care recipients and caregivers. We are proud to be able to honor her for her outstanding dedication,” said David Totaro, President and Executive Director of H4HC.”
In addition to Jenni, nine other top advocates from states across the U.S. and Washington, D.C. received this top honor.
