Adventist Health Tillamook is proud to share that our Emergency Medical Service leaders Jackie Fox, EMS Director and Seth Crowder, EMS Supervisor, have been presented the Patriot Award from the Oregon Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) office of the Department of Defense. Nominated by Adventist Health Tillamook EMS Supervisor and U.S. Army Reservist David Arnett, this award recognizes direct supervisor efforts made to support citizen soldiers through a wide range of measures including flexible schedules, time off prior to and after deployment, caring for families and granting leaves of absence if needed.

This award was presented at the 2022 Tillamook County Fair by Leanne Babcock, Military Outreach Coordinator for the Oregon ESGR who states, “This award is a huge testament to the support SGT Arnett has at Adventist Health Tillamook.” Eric Swanson, president of Adventist Health Tillamook shares, “I am very proud of how Jackie and Seth have supported David in his service to our country.” Swanson continues, “Adventist Health Tillamook supports the value of our National Guard and Reserve, and it is an honor to have our leaders recognized for this support.”

The ESGR develops and promotes supportive work environments for service members in the Guard and Reserve Components through outreach, recognition and educational opportunities that increase awareness of applicable laws.
