Middletown NY, November 2010 – Jennie Cortese, Administrator with WILLCARE, was selected to receive the prestigious Edna A. Lauterbach Member of the Year Award by the New York State Association of Health Care Providers, Inc. (HCP). This award was established to recognize an HCP member that has shown dedication and demonstrated excellence in furthering the goals and objectives of HCP.

Cortese was honored at HCP’s Annual Awards Luncheon on October 28, 2010, during the HCP Annual Home Care Management Conference at the Long Island Marriott Hotel in Uniondale NY. “Edna Lauterbach was a leader in home care and has been an inspiration to me,” Cortese acknowledged in her acceptance speech, “I am truly so honored to receive this year’s Edna Lauterbach Member of the Year Award.”

Cortese is very active in the Hudson Valley Home Care community. She is a Board Member and past President of the Hudson Valley Chapter of the New York State Association of Health Care Providers, President of the Dutchess County Home Care Association, Board Member of the Sullivan County Long Term Care Council, Board Member of the Orange County Senior Expo, and former Board member and Secretary of Community Health Care Services.

“I have a very strong passion and enthusiasm for home care! It is very rewarding to know that we help families and their loved ones remain at home where they most prefer to be. At WILLCARE we are committed to care for our clients and their families as though they are part of our family,” said Cortese, “I am very fortunate that I have worked with many of my co-workers for over 20 years, and we share the same passion for home care. Every day we face challenges, but the desire to help others, and keep home care as the option of choice in health care, keeps us committed every day!”
