ROCHESTER - Cornerstone VNA was recently designated as a Recovery Friendly Workplace.

According to the RFW website, "Led by Governor Chris Sununu, New Hampshire's 'Recovery Friendly Workplace Initiative' promotes individual wellness for Granite Staters by empowering workplaces to provide support for people recovering from substance use disorder. The Recovery Friendly Workplace initiative gives business owners the resources and support they need to foster a supportive environment that encourages the success of their employees in recovery."

As a designated RFW, Cornerstone VNA is committed to fostering a safe and recovery friendly environment, engaging employees in addiction and behavioral health education and prevention, retaining healthy and productive employees, and promoting prevention and recovery in local communities. As a participant in this important initiative, Cornerstone VNA will receive ongoing support, training and education from Regional Public Health Networks, Recovery Support Organizations, and Recovery Friendly Advisors.

Cornerstone VNA President/CEO, Jennifer Ufkin, RN, MSN, said, "Being recognized as a Recovery Friendly Workplace affirms our commitment to cultivating a culture of compassion, support, and second chances. This designation reflects our belief that recovery strengthens not only individuals, but entire communities--and we are proud to support those on their journey to wellness."
