The LeadingAge Florida Annual Awards Program honors outstanding contributions of member communities like The Glenview at Pelican Bay, as well as the communities’ staff, volunteers, leadership, and residents. Award winners have provided care, advocacy, and services that exemplify LeadingAge Florida’s mission: expanding aging possibilities.
The Emerging Leader Award recognizes individuals like Freeborn who are committed to professional growth as a leader and have taken on expanded responsibilities within their organization. Award recipients have demonstrated a growing leadership role within their organization, a commitment to professional development for future leadership opportunities in the aging services field, and the ability to mentor and encourage others’ professional growth.
“We were excited to nominate Joanne for this award,” said Patrick Noonan, Executive Director of The Glenview of Naples. “She exemplifies the kind of compassionate, dedicated, engaging professional who should be serving as a role model for caregivers. The need for high-quality, experienced home health caregivers will continue to expand in the years ahead, so we’re very fortunate to have Joanne as a team member.”
Freeborn has been with GlenCare Home Care, which is part of The Glenview at Pelican Bay, since 2015. She began her journey with The Glenview as a GlenCare Home Care RN primarily as a Case Manager. Joanne has been a Nurse over 26 years.
