Ceca Foundation was established to celebrate caregiver excellence, and promote quality patient care by providing health care institutions with the funding, tools and best practices to recognize their outstanding caregivers. Read some of our amazing caregiver stories at CecaFoundation.org/blog and reach out to us at inquiries@cecafoundation.org. The Foundation’s program centers on a peer-to-peer recognition and award process that creates employee engagement and learning. Caregivers who are engaged and appreciated consistently perform at higher levels, leading to improved patient care and a better patient experience. The Ceca Award is given to caregivers who best exemplify the qualities of empathy, humor, integrity, professionalism and teamwork in treating patient residents — qualities valued by patients and fellow caregivers alike.
