Conemaugh Health System Recognized with Patriot Award, Reinforcing Commitment as a Military-Friendly Employer

Conemaugh Health System has been honored with the prestigious Patriot Award from the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), recognizing the organization’s strong and ongoing commitment to supporting employees who serve in the National Guard and Reserve. 

The Patriot Award is the first in ESGR’s series of honors and is awarded to employers who demonstrate exceptional support for service members and their families. Nominations are submitted by Guard or Reserve members—or their spouses—who wish to recognize organizations that go above and beyond in accommodating the unique demands of military service. 

This recognition reflects Conemaugh Health System’s dedication to fostering a military-friendly workplace culture. Through initiatives such as flexible scheduling, approved leave for training and deployments, and a supportive reintegration process, Conemaugh empowers employees to successfully balance their civilian careers with their military responsibilities. 

“Supporting those who serve our country is a responsibility we take seriously at Conemaugh,” said Tony Campagna, Vice President of Operations at Conemaugh Health System. “We are honored to receive the Patriot Award, which reflects our commitment to ensuring military-affiliated employees feel valued, supported, and respected.” 

Conemaugh Health System’s leadership and team members work collaboratively to create an environment where service members and their families are supported at every stage—from deployment through reintegration—helping to ease the challenges associated with military service. 

This recognition underscores Conemaugh Health System’s commitment to making communities healthier—not only through high-quality, compassionate care close to home, but also by fostering a workplace that proudly supports those who serve and strengthens the communities we are privileged to care for.
