Maryhaven was excited to celebrate Tammy Wagner from our HR department for February's mission award. Tammy has been both passionate and effective in her roles at Maryhaven that have enriched the lives of our individuals. Through her work as our fiscal review specialist, she drove the principles of community integration, individualism and choice as she provided quality oversight of how individuals spend their money. After joining our human resources department, Tammy continued to uphold the safety and well-being of our individuals working collaboratively with the agency safety committee to ensure a safe and home like atmosphere for our individuals. In her role as human resource generalist, she has enhanced recruitment efforts through her work with a online platform Glassdoor, as well as being an integral part of Maryhaven being recognized as one of Long Island's top workplace in 2025. Tammy has always found a way to embody the values of our organization in each of her roles at Maryhaven. We congratulate you Tammy on embodying Maryhaven's mission.
