Crout, of the Facilities Department, was nominated for the award by his coworkers.
Highlights from Keith’s multiple nominations include: “He is always willing to go above and beyond the call. He is a talented craftsman who is very careful with his work. He is pleasant and chatty to the residents. He deserves this award as he is a true testament to a great worker, great friend and true asset to the organization.” “He is always friendly, very helpful and a joy to have any interaction with. Seeing him in passing will make your day. Hands down he is one of the most consistently pleasant employees in our facility.” He is a person with a perpetual positive attitude. He is always smiling and greeting every employee. I have observed him stop and assist residents of the nursing home with what may be a trivial task and then have a pleasant conversation with them. He has the characteristics of this award in his natural every day demeanor.” “A genuine character that is compassionate to all staff and residents. He is always smiling and makes everyone around him in a better mood. There is not an employee more deserving than him.” “Good guy, happy go lucky guy.”

what our patients are saying
“The staff and accommodations at Cayuga Birthplace are amazing!!! This is what it I imagine it would feel like to be a celebrity getting VIP treatment. I wish I could stay longer – even the food options are 5 Star! The amenities are great. Everything is clean and designed beautifully. Not a single complaint, only praises!”
“I have to say the last couple visits that I’ve had here have been wonderful. About a month ago I had an EGD and the staff were amazing! Explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. I was very nervous and the nurse I had was very comforting. Tonight we had to take my son to the emergency room and they were awesome with him! We got right in. “
“I have had many occasions visiting CMC for myself and family. We have never had a bad experience there at all. Last October I had surgery and the nurses were amazing especially my night nurse. Thank you to all CMC staff for doing what you do every day with a smile.”
“I have been a Hemo dialysis patient for almost Five years. Prior to dialysis and during dialysis I have had several trips to the ER, due to other health issues & was admitted to CMC more than a few times. Each and every time I’ve been there, whether in patient or out, I have been treated with respect, professionalism, and efficiency. I give this hospital 2 thumbs up!! Thank you CMC for taking care of me all these years!!”
