Last weekend, we gathered for our 2nd Annual Caregiver Celebration - a special night to honor the heart and soul of what we do.
Each year, we present the Ethan Garza Lighthouse Award and a $5,000 check to our Caregiver of the Year. This year’s honor went to the incredible Gladys Tineo Almanzar.
Choosing just one caregiver is never easy - we’re blessed with hundreds of extraordinary nurses - but Gladys truly embodies what this award stands for. For the past two years, she has worked six nights a week, building an unbreakable bond with her patient, Deborah. Gladys is a beacon to her patient, to Deborah’s family, and to all of us at ACS.
Gladys - you are the lighthouse, guiding with compassion, commitment, and love. We are all better because of you. 💙
