Gurwin Healthcare System announced this week that Jenny Meade, M.A., CCC-SLP, a speech language pathologist from Center Moriches, and Martiza Gonzalez, RN, BSN, RAC-CT, of West Islip, are the 2025 Recipients of United Hospital Fund’s prestigious honor.
According to Gurwin, UHF’s Tribute to Excellence in Health Care Award for Quality Improvement Champions was first issued in 2019 “to honor extraordinary personal leadership to improve quality of care, patient safety and patient experience.”
Meade was recognized for her empathetic approach and palpable pedigree amassed at Island Nursing & Rehab Center in Holtsville.
Gonzalez is the Director of MDS at Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Commack. In this role, she both mentors her team and ensures round-the-clock quality care through deploying thorough documentation and overseeing all metric-related matters.
“We are incredibly proud to have not one, but two exceptional members of our Gurwin team honored by United Hospital Fund,” said Stuart B. Almer, President and CEO of Gurwin Healthcare System.
“Jenny and Martiza’s dedication to advancing patient care reflects the shared commitment to excellence that defines our entire organization. This recognition is a testament to their hard work, innovation and unwavering focus on improving outcomes for those we serve.”
