We are excited to announce that:
Peter Freitas is August Employee of the Month!
Peter has been a valued member of the SSTAR team for 10 years, serving as Security for our Facilities Department.
Peter has been a dependable and valued member of the SSTAR team, serving as part of the dedicated “late crew” that supports the Health Center and ABH after 4:30 PM. During a time when most staff have finished their workday, Peter helps create a sense of safety, security, and peace of mind for those who remain on site until 6:30 PM. He routinely checks throughout the building and often escorts staff as they leave, ensuring they reach their vehicles safely before returning inside, even when reassured that such care is not necessary.
Peter consistently demonstrates compassion and professionalism, particularly when interacting with patients who may be in distress. He approaches every situation with kindness, empathy, and respect, helping others feel supported during difficult moments.
What makes Peter especially deserving of recognition is his willingness to go above and beyond without seeking acknowledgment. He quietly and consistently supports both staff and patients, making a meaningful impact every day. While very part-time employees are not always as visible as full-time staff, Peter’s contributions are invaluable. His dedication, reliability, and genuine care for others make him truly worthy of appreciation and recognition.
For these reasons, Peter is a wonderful choice for Employee of the Month.
