YPSILANTI, Mich. – Ruth Kraut and Jane Nickert at the Washtenaw County Health Department were presented with the ESGR Patriot Award recently. 

These two outstanding supervisors were nominated by Kelly Hock, spouse of Cpl. Jacob Hock, U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. She stated, “They have without hesitation asked what I need from them and how they can help. They have been flexible knowing my schedule may need to change, understanding of when I need to take days off to support my family or for my own mental health and have provided resources to help during the next year.”

We love to see supervisors and employers not only support our Service Members but their families as well.

Presenting the awards was ESGR Volunteer Fred Kaiser. Pictured is Fred Kaiser, Jane Nickert (Nursing Director), Kelly Hock, and Ruth Kraut (Deputy Health Officer).
