Recognizing employee service anniversaries

Last night at the Oasis Convention Center, CoxHealth hosted nearly 1,300 employees and their guests at the annual employee recognition banquet. In all, more than 2,700 employees at CoxHealth are celebrating 5, 10, 15 and 20-plus years of service. Three employees are celebrating 50 years at CoxHealth. We introduced a new award last night, the Lester E. Cox Prestigious Partner Award. Our first recipient was Larry Lipscomb, for his enduring commitment, love and support for our organization. In many ways, Larry has carried on the amazing legacy of his grandfather, and continues to help support and grow CoxHealth.
