Michelle Melanson, RN, BSN, won a Platinum Award in the Workers' Compensation Case Manager category. Melanson was nominated by her manager, Kathryn Shaw, MS, CRC. “Michelle exemplifies the best that can be accomplished in her role as workers' compensation case manager.

Additionally, one of Genex's dedicated client teams won an Honorable Mention in the Workers' Compensation Case Management category for their collaborative and integral role in the client's return-to-work program.
