Healthy Connections is proud to announce the March 2024 Shining STAR Employees of the Month: Schanae Rocha, a dental assistant at our Mena clinic, and Chelsi Snider, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) at our Hot Springs Chippewa clinic. Rocha and Snider have been recognized for their outstanding embodiment of our core values: Community, Compassion, and Excellence, receiving nominations from their peers for their exceptional work and contributions to our health center and the communities we serve.

Schanae Rocha stepped up significantly during a time when both our Mena and Hot Springs locations faced challenges in dental operations. As a single mother, she managed her personal responsibilities with precision to ensure she could provide necessary dental services at the Chippewa dental department. Rocha’s commitment involved early mornings and late evenings, traveling from Mena to Hot Springs to assist where needed, showcasing a strong commitment to our community’s health needs.

Chelsi Snider is recognized by her colleagues as an exemplary nurse who consistently performs at a high level of professionalism and respect towards staff and patients alike. Snider’s approach to her work, giving 110% every day, highlights her as a model of excellence and a valued member of the Healthy Connections team.

In recognition of their contributions, both Rocha and Snider will be awarded a $50 credit to the HC Hub Company store.
