Local Juniper Village at Forest Hills Dietary Manager Receives National Food Service Award Nomination

Juniper Village at Forest Hills is pleased to announce that their Dietary Director, Mr. Ken Miller, has been selected as one of the 2014 Premier Illuminating Excellence in Food Service Award nominees. The Premier Illuminating Excellence Award is an award given to the Top 10 Food Service Directors in the country by Premier Foods (formerly US Foods).

Each year Premier Foods hosts an Illuminating Excellence Contest looking to recognize outstanding food service directors from across the nation. Winners are nominated from submissions by representatives in the Food Service industry and are judged by a committee of Premier Food Service Directors. Winners were selected from three categories; Acute Care, Continuum of Care, and Education, and were judged based upon their accomplishments and improvements in areas such as: patient/resident/student satisfaction scores; documented cost savings; activities that support the values and mission of the organization; participation in the Premier alliance; professional and community activities; and personal achievements in the last year.

"Juniper Village at Forest Hills is very proud of Ken's nomination and feels that this Award reflects both his personal commitment and Juniper Communities goal of providing the highest in quality food service for our residents. " states Juniper Village's Executive Director, Janet Wangler. "We were not surprised by Ken's nomination. In 2013 Ken and his Department received Juniper Communities Top Dietary Department of the Year Award."

Mr. Miller and the other Top 10 Nominees selected will receive recognition at the Premier Breakthroughs Conference in San Antonio, Texas. The 2014 Premier Illuminating Excellence Award Winner will be selected from the 10 nominees, and announced at the Premier Breakthroughs Conference this June.
