For the second consecutive year, Plaza Healthcare has participated in the Arizona Special Olympics’ Over the Edge event. On December 12, 2015, eleven Plaza Employees rappelled down City Scape, a twenty-seven story glass building in downtown Phoenix.
The facility set a goal in April of 2015 to raise $11,000 and through the help of our community, staff, friends, and family, Plaza was able to raise $11,250. According to the Special Olympic Committee, Plaza finished 4th in the state of Arizona for monies donated. Overall, the Over the Edge event raised more than $210,000 ensuring that over 400 athletes would receive a full year sponsorship.
Plaza Healthcare looks forward to participating again in 2016. For more information about this event, you can go to www.specialolympicsarizona.org/over-the-edge.
Shannon Taush and Matt Morony recieved the 2017 Plaza Healthcare Employees of the Year Award. The banquet which was held on February 22, 2018 included twelve 2017 Employee of the Month winners and their guests. This year's banquet was inique in that we were not able to choose just one winner. We awarded 2 amazing employees the award.
