Nicole Ornouski 2020 Employee of the Year Gables Care Center Nearly 11 years ago, a young woman decided she wanted to begin her health care career journey at Gables Care Center.

She completed the program and officially became an STNA in July 2010. Nicole was a truly amazing care team member over the next 8 years. She decided in 2018 to take an important next step in her career — to become a Licensed Practical Nurse. She went to nursing school while continuing as an STNA at Gables.
