Employer Recognition Award

The ABOHN Employer Recognition Award is awarded each year to a company that demonstrates support and encouragement for the personal and professional development of the certified Occupational Health Nurses that they employ.   The award recipient demonstrated that it recognizes the value that certification brings to its organization and acknowledges the OHN’s contributions in a variety of ways.

This year, we are pleased to present the prestigious ABOHN Employer Recognition Award to:

Premise Health

Premise Health is a very worthy recipient of the ABOHN Employer Recognition award due to its sustained support of their occupational health nurses which includes support of the ABOHN credentials.

ABOHN received the submission from not one, but FIVE! ABOHN board certified OHNs!

• Lori Knowlton COHN-S/CM
• Matt Hale, COHN-S
• Kristine Cafferky COHN-S
• Beck Garcia, COHN-S and
• Lara Spaulding, COHN-S

In the application, it was evident that certification is encouraged and supported both monetarily and philosophically. Premise Health routinely supports their OHN's by granting funds to attend the AAOHN conferences, reimburses the costs of certification prep classes, application, exam, and maintenance fees as well as offers a slew of continuing education courses.

Premise Health proudly recognizes their OHNs company wide, in their monthly newsletter "The Beat" and through their "Praise" program on their Teams platform.

Once again, thank you to Premise Health for your support of occupational health nursing.
