Awards of Excellence

Pastor Linda Walz, Trinity Campus

Pastor Linda Waltz, serving the Trinity Campus since 2013, accepts and helps each of us (residents and staff) wherever we are at on our faith journey. Pastor serves as the Trinity’s eyes and ears when residents are hospitalized or in rehab, allowing our team to better serve them when they return. She not only helps the resident in need but is there for the family members. She supports us all during difficult and joyous times alike. 

Danielle Richardson, Pathways Central Iowa

There’s no one more suited for the Honor Award than Danielle. She radiates her pride in working for Immanuel and PACE to everyone, especially to our staff. Her support and development of our leadership team and team building exercises have had a larger impact than she will ever know. She seeks to motivate and inspire everyone around her and teachers our leaders to do the same. 

Jim Mann, The Landing

The relationships Jim has built with residents and employees alike are invaluable to furthering our mission of service. As a transportation employee, driving is sometimes a thankless job. But Jim handles it with a polite, easy-going, positive attitude. Jim goes above and beyond and is always willing to lend a helping hand delivering packages, emptying trashcans and volunteering as an actor in The Landing’s annual melodrama event. 

Jody Baratta, Trinity Village

Jodi is a care partner and so much more. She is truly concerned for the people she takes care of (including everyone around her) and is very attentive to their needs. She is always willing to help out her teammates to ensure everyone is taken care of. She has such great rapport with residents, their families and the entire team at Trinity Village.

Mark Reinke, The Landing

Mark not only goes above and beyond for residents; he goes above and beyond for staff. As our “Jack of All” at The Landing, Mark is the first to volunteer to hang resident’s TVs or pictures; he is there if a fire alarm goes off in the middle of the night; and the first to pick up care staff during a snowstorm. Mark is outgoing and warm to residents, family and staff alike. 

Alicia DeLuna, Lakeside

Alicia is the very definition of teamwork. She is an active member of our Culture Club and chairperson for the Safety Council. As housekeeping supervisor, she inspires her team and co-workers each and every day to produce a higher quality of work and is committed to using her talents and positive attitude to faithfully serve residents. Alicia takes enormous pride in her work and motivates her team members toward excellence.
