CANANDAIGUA – UR Medicine Thompson Health held its annual Shining Stars Awards Ceremony on May 10, naming Christy Brewer of Geneva as its Associate of the Year and presenting 38 other health system associates with Shining Star Awards.
These awards are a Thompson tradition dating back more than 20 years. Recipients are nominated by other associates and are voted on by a secret committee of their peers from across the health system. The number selected is based on 2% of the total number of associates within Thompson so this year, there were 38. Often, honorees' families and friends are waiting in the wings to be on hand as they receive their awards.
