This year, we celebrated a milestone: our 10th Annual Employee Appreciation BBQ. What began as a small summer cookout has grown into one of our most meaningful traditions. For a full decade, the BBQ has been a time to pause, reflect, and come together outside of our daily work.

The BBQ is more than just a day with food and laughter. It is about honoring the dedication of the team that keeps our pharmacy running and recognizing the effort behind the work we do. Each year, it is a chance to step back, connect as people, and celebrate what we have achieved together.

This year's event carried extra weight because it marked the tenth anniversary of a tradition that has become a cornerstone of our culture. Reaching ten years gave us the opportunity to reflect on how much we have grown and how the team has shaped our success along the way.

One of the most cherished parts of the BBQ is seeing CEO Angelo Angerame at the grill. His willingness to cook for the team each year has become a symbol of gratitude and leadership. It shows that no matter how much we grow, the heart of Hudson Regional LTC Pharmacy is the people who work here.

Angelo shared how honored he feels to celebrate with the team. His words echoed the sentiment that our success is built on the dedication of individuals who bring care, focus, and passion to their work every day.

Events like the BBQ strengthen the bonds within our organization. They remind us that while the work we do is serious and important, we also value joy, connection, and community. Recognizing achievements and taking time to come together helps us carry our mission forward with renewed energy.

The 10th Annual Employee BBQ was a celebration of more than a decade of tradition. It was a reminder of what we stand for as an organization and the values that guide us: teamwork, gratitude, and dedication to serving others.
