ARLINGTON, VA. -- Genesis Health System has been selected as a 2008 winner of the 4th annual Corporate Award Of Excellence from the Employee Assistance Society of North America (EASNA).

Each year, EASNA acknowledges one American and one Canadian company that demonstrates excellence in their use of EAP programming and service delivery.  An independent panel of judges reviews submissions and evaluates them on a series of criteria that underscores the importance of integrating the services of an EAP provider to ensure the health and well-being of the company’s workforce.
