Years-of-service pins given at Christmas party

December 31, 2024

Casey County Hospital – for the first time since 2019 – held its Employee Christmas Party on Dec. 9 at the Central Kentucky AG/EXPO Center.

Employees and their families were treated to dinner; years of service pins were awarded to qualifying employees serving between 5-30 years; some lucky employees won some nice door prizes; and children visited with Santa, receiving a gift and candy treats.

Casey Hospital’s Administrator/CEO Rusty Tungate, along with board members Ronald Wright, Karen Atwood, Dan Johnson, Taylor Rousey and Eddie Wesley, handed out Christmas bonus checks to employees as well. Tungate praised the employees for their work ethic and dedication, and said he was pleased that the annual party – which had not been held since Covid – could happen once again.
