Community Days in Northern California Kick Off the Spirit of the Season
The Northern Pacific Division of McCarthy kicked off the 2010 holiday season by giving back to our respective communities.
In Sacramento, 50 McCarthy volunteers rallied together to assist the local Ronald McDonald House with some much-needed repair. A member of the local community since 1998, the Sacramento facility provides a “home away from home” for families who have children being treated in one of five Sacramento hospitals, including: UC Davis Medical Center, Shriner’s Hospitals for Children, Mercy, Kaiser Permanente, and Sutter Medical Center.
Gold Award for Safety
McCarthy was awarded a Safety Through Exemplary Performance (STEP) Gold Award by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center for the firm’s work on the Albert B. and Margaret M. Alkek Hospital expansion in Houston.
“McCarthy strives to maintain its reputation for being the one of the safest contractors,” said Bruce Fuller, safety director for McCarthy’s Texas Division. “This recognition from MD Anderson proves once again that our partners recognize our continuous efforts in keeping everyone safe and gives us a chance to thank the employees who make safety their priority every day.”
