On Saturday the Bon Secours family around the world came together to celebrate 202 years since Josephine Potel and her 11 companions founded the order in Paris on 24 January 1824. Here at Bon Secours Hospital Dublin, the occasion was celebrated all week long from celebratory apple tart treats to fun competitions, culminating in the long service awards on Thursday evening.
The Long Service Awards are an annual event which this year celebrated 39 dedicated staff members who collectively have over 910 years of combined service of 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 years of service. It was particularly special to see families represented amongst the recipients including husband & wife, mother & daughter, and aunt & niece pairs. These awards are a key component of our employee recognition program, shining a light on our incredible team’s commitment, compassionate care, and dedication to patients, colleagues and the hospital's mission and values.
