The winter holiday season is a time for generosity, reflection, and connection. At Oriol Health Care, it is also a time to recognize the team members who bring our mission to life every day. This December, we proudly honor employees who exemplify compassion, teamwork, and a deep commitment to excellence.
As a family-owned and operated organization with a 60+ year tradition of care, Oriol Health Care remains dedicated to serving our communities with warmth, integrity, and professionalism. True to our promise — Our family taking care of yours — these individuals remind us what exceptional care truly looks like.
Oriol Health Care Business Office
Julia Knowles – Accounts Receivable Specialist
Julia Knowles is an invaluable member of our Business Office team and a wonderful example of what it means to support one another — not just during the holiday season, but all year long.
As the Accounts Receivable Specialist for ORSNC, Julia consistently goes above and beyond to keep operations running smoothly. She willingly steps in to assist coworkers, takes on additional responsibilities, and ensures work is completed accurately and on time. Because of her reliability and positive attitude, the entire team benefits.
Moreover, Julia’s dedication reflects Oriol Health Care’s commitment to excellence behind the scenes. Her work supports the caregivers and clinicians who serve patients and residents throughout Holden, West Boylston, Worcester, and the surrounding Wachusett communities.
Oakdale Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing Center
Michelle Chausse – Activities Director
Michelle Chausse truly embodies the spirit of the season. As Activities Director at Oakdale Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing Center, she enriches the lives of residents through compassion, creativity, and genuine connection.
Each day, Michelle creates programs that encourage engagement, joy, and inclusion. She has a remarkable ability to make everyone feel welcome — residents and staff alike. As a result, Oakdale feels less like a facility and more like home.
Especially during the winter holidays, Michelle’s warmth and dedication shine. Her efforts support Oriol Health Care’s mission to deliver exceptional care with a personal touch across West Boylston and neighboring communities.
Holden Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing Center
Meghan McIver – Vent RN, Wachusett Respiratory Care Unit
Meghan McIver exemplifies the heart of Oriol Health Care. As a Vent RN in Holden’s Wachusett Respiratory Care Unit, she delivers skilled, compassionate care to some of our most complex patients.
Recently, Meghan took the initiative to organize a holiday gift project for all residents. She shared the idea within the community and received an overwhelming response of donated gifts. She then coordinated the effort and personally wrapped each one to ensure every resident felt remembered and celebrated.
Through her actions, Meghan turned the spirit of giving into something deeply personal. Her leadership, kindness, and commitment perfectly reflect our promise of Our family taking care of yours.
Serving Our Communities with Excellence — Today and Always
For more than six decades, Oriol Health Care has proudly served Holden, West Boylston, Worcester, and the greater Wachusett region. Our commitment to excellence is built on people — dedicated team members who care deeply about those they serve.
Honoring the Heart of Oriol Health Care This Holiday Season
As we celebrate the winter holidays, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Julia, Michelle, and Meghan. Their dedication strengthens our organization and brings comfort to the communities we serve. They remind us that exceptional care is not only delivered through skill, but through kindness, generosity, and connection.
From our family to yours, congratulations to our December Employees of the Month.
