STARS Shine on Red Carpet Lights, Camera, Memorable Moments!

The STAR Team Member Recognition Program kicked off the first red-carpet celebration of the year with award presentations, photo booths, staycation raffles and heartfelt appreciation.

Earlier this month, CCHC Team Members were welcomed with a red-carpet surprise outside the cafeterias at Cape Cod Hospital and Falmouth Hospital. The STAR Committee greeted employees with smiles, applause and a heartfelt “thank you” for their dedication.

To celebrate our incredible teams, employees walked the red carpet, posed in the “photo booth” in front of a sparkling backdrop, and received special STAR packets with chocolates, notebooks, STAR-themed pens, and more. Two lucky winners also won $1,000 Staycation Raffle prizes as a token of appreciation.

The event also featured STAR Award presentations, honoring individuals who exemplify Service, Teamwork, Accountability, and Respect. These moments highlighted the teamwork and dedication that define CCHC.

Check out the photo gallery to relive the celebration—and mark your calendar for the next Red Carpet event in October!

Thank you for all you do—YOU are all STARS of CCHC!
