Recognition Category: Safety
Why: Corey, our Facilities Manager, has done a stellar job of keeping our campus safe, clean, and beautiful since he started at UMYH in 2023. As UMYH has no formal janitorial or maintenance staff, the single position of Facilities Manager is in charge of overseeing all 10 acres of campus (not counting volunteer support), including but not limited to: all lawn and landscaping upkeep (mowing, weed-eating, edging, leaf-blowing, sodding for new growth, mulching and pruning flower beds), building maintenance and repairs on ALL 9 buildings (plumbing, electrical, updating faulty fixtures, pest eradication, checking all code and requirements are up-to-snuff for fire safety and day-to-day well-being, changing filters, the list goes on) routine maintenance on UMYH’s fleet of vehicles, snow plowing and salting the grounds during heavy snowfalls, and the list goes on and on and on. He does all these things with humility and kindness while exhibiting a gentle demeanor. I really admire everything he has to deal with—a lot of hard manual labor and often in extreme elements. He is an asset to UMYH.
