Schervier Nursing Care Center Announces Mel Ocampo as April's "Values in Action" Award Recipient

Bon Secours New York Health System’s Schervier Nursing Care Center, specializing in long-term and rehabilitation care in the Riverdale section of The Bronx, has proudly announced Mel Ocampo as its April 2013 Values in Action award recipient.

Schervier Nursing Care Center’s prestigious Values in Action award is presented monthly to honor an individual who embodies the mission of Schervier and exemplifies Bon Secours’ core values, namely delivering superior quality care and service to each resident with compassion, respect, integrity and justice. Ocampo, a valued member of the Housekeeping Department at Schervier, was nominated for the award by his peers for his hard work and efficiency in keeping Schervier a clean, safe, and sanitary facility for its Riverdale residents.

“Mel’s incredible work ethic and deep spiritual attributes are known throughout our campus, as he serves as an inspiration to many,” said Stephen Kazanjian, Director of Mission at Schervier. “He knows what stewardship means and is consistently mindful of our recycling efforts, as well as our vocation to care for our environment. His countless contributions to our community help make Schervier a great place to live and to work.”

A Values in Action ceremony was held in honor of Ocampo on May 31, 2013, to celebrate his accomplishments and positive impact on Schervier’s campus and its residents. He was presented with a certificate of excellence, along with a small gift on behalf of Schervier by Kazanjian.
