Circle of Gratitude Honorees
The Circle of Gratitude was created by the Cheshire Health Foundation to provide grateful patients and families with a way to express their gratitude to our dedicated physicians, advanced practitioners, nurses, and staff. Gifts are used to further the health and wellness mission of Cheshire Medical Center.
Below are a few photographs of some of our honorees. For a full listing of honored employees, please scroll to the bottom. Those who have been honored more than one time have the number of honors listed by their names.
Thank you to our patients who took the time to show their gratitude for these staff members!
