Reno, Nev.-based Renown Health has won a 2017 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award, the highest employer honor given by the Department of Defense.
Renown is one of 15 companies to receive the award and the only health system to win. The award is given annually to companies who provide exceptional support for military employees. Renown has roughly 150 active military and veteran on staff, with 35 employees deploying for full-time, active military duty since 2008.
"Renown consistently rises to the occasion for its military employees and communities in need during times of crisis," said Senior Master Sgt. Jason Farnsworth, an executive for Renown Health Home Care and a member of the Nevada Air National Air Guard since 1999.
