As we start the new year and prepare to make new memories, we cannot forget about the amazing year 2023 was. Let’s take a trip down memory lane as we start 2024 with the same positive energy!
(BACK TO) JAMMING OUT-
WestCMR returned our in-person January Annual Meeting (JAM) after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. This (usually) annual tradition allows for all departments to celebrate the prior year’s successes and present goals for the year ahead.
AWARDS-
Our CEO Randy Ware gave out 22 internal awards during our JAM – 9 Westies, recognizing those who best embodied the WestCMR values, and 13 Eagles, for those who went above and beyond expectations. Our 10th year of giving these awards!
PHILANTHROPY-
During the summer, WestCMR hosted our Cut Funds the Cure Event benefiting the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation, where we shaved 33 heads in honor of those children battling cancer. WestCMR also celebrated the holiday season with Habitat for Humanity as they broke ground on their newest project called “Longlake Preserve”— an exciting new 54-unit townhome development in Largo. Randy Ware, Founder and CEO of WestCMR, generously pledged $100,000 towards the inaugural construction
OPEN HOUSE-
WestCMR welcomed family, friends, customers, and local vendors for an evening celebrating continued growth and our new building renovations. The night featured drinks, light bites, and most importantly, great company.
TENURE-
A record-breaking number of team members achieved significant milestones, with a remarkable four individuals reaching the 5-year mark and two attaining the impressive 10-year milestone in 2023. Each of them was rewarded with unforgettable Trips of a Lifetime!
RECOGNITION-
Our company recruitment video, shot and produced in 2022 by our incredible videographer Rachel Sykes, won a Telly Award. WestCMR also received the Culture Creator Award from AMPLIFY Clearwater. This award recognizes our commitment to fostering a positive and nurturing work environment at WestCMR.
TRAVEL-
We are on the path to normal, which means international travel is back! GeoSurgical traveled to Bangkok, Thailand, to attend its first-ever Medical Fair Thailand tradeshow and to Dusseldorf, Germany, to exhibit at Medica. Each trip helped our team make new connections, both internally and externally.
HOLIDAYS-
We enjoyed our first Holiday party since before the pandemic, and it was a big one with well over 100 attendees of staff, vendors and guests. There was even a Santa Claus sighting! We have big plans for our 2024 Holiday party! Other than Christmas, WestCMR participated again in the Belleair Recreation Center’s Adopt-a-Family the week before Thanksgiving and helped out 80 families!
COMPANY CULTURE-
As always, WestCMR takes pride in its work culture and has been awarded for doing so. This year wasn’t any different, with multiple food trucks and company events that brought our team closer and recognized their hard work. Our team’s favorite event was at Topgolf, where each team member brought their loved ones and enjoyed a tasty meal.
