Congratulations to our very own Jane Danish, who has been selected as the recipient of the 2016 Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce Athena Award, sponsored by Berger Family Dealerships.
Jane is the Director of Community Relations and Colleague Recognition at Lehigh Valley Hospital Hazleton. She has a successful healthcare career with over 35 years in positions with impact in the areas of administration, governance, marketing and community relations.
 
 
Jane started as a secretary at Nesbitt Memorial hospital and quickly advanced to the Executive Assistant to the President, and was a key part of the transition team in the merger with Wilkes Barre General Hospital. Jane brought her expertise and skills back to her hometown when she joined the team at Greater Hazleton Health Alliance in the spring of 1999.
A career woman for many years, Jane believes in the importance of education and mentoring. During her careers she has successfully mentored four different individuals who reported to her. They have each sought further education, including attaining a master's degree that eventually led to successive promotions in their chosen field. In her hiring decision over the years, she has been willing to take a chance on recent graduates with limited experience and mentor them to strong employees.
