     Westview Health Care Center selects Ashley Ladero as September’s Employee of the Month. Currently living in Brooklyn, CT, Ashley provides an important role for the Sports Medicine Department of the Dayville facility: Administrative Assistant.

      This physical rehabilitation program has grown exponentially since it first opened its doors in 2013, and Ashley is an integral part of making sure that the numerous patients who walk through those doors have a pleasant and professional experience planning their therapies and treatments. With the recent addition of specialized massage therapists to the Sports Medicine wing, Ashley continues to excel at managing the needs of patients and clients along with the needs of trainers and therapists.

      Ashley and her husband Pablo Ladero are proud parents of three boys: Christian, Julian, and David. Some of her extended family members live nearby in Brooklyn, with other family members scattered throughout New England. She herself is originally from Rhode Island and makes frequent visits to family in the Ocean State. The outgoing, extroversive, yet sensitive personality that she displays at work is derived from this, her strongly connected family. In addition to spending time with the family (including a healthy dose of mothering) Ashley likes to read and run. She runs not only for the great health benefits and personal goal achievement, but also in support of many wonderful philanthropic causes by participating in fundraising races. In the last few years she has participated in “The Friends of Goodwin Forest Trail Race,” “The Gobble Gobble Run” for The Center of Hope Foundation, and “Tackle The Trail” on behalf of the Quinebaug Valley Community College Scholarship Foundation.

      Her willingness to help others is matched by her passion for Westview Sports Medicine. “Ashley is such a great addition to our amazing team of health care professionals,” stated David T. Panteleakos, Administrator. “Her professionalism is matched by her wonderful compassion for people and the patients we serve.”

      Through her direct communications with the people receiving treatment from Westview Sports Medicine, Ashley knows to translate people’s positive words as an indication of her colleagues’ talents. As she says: “I am honored to be recognized by this group of exemplary coworkers. It’s a great group of people to work with. When things get challenging, it helps to have excellent teammates.” Ashley Ladero holds a certain confidence and a certain pride for those she works alongside.
