Ruby Goode Ruby Goode, a Supervising Nutritionist and
member of Local 768, was honored March 8 at the annual New York Police Foundation
Gala. She received the Hemmerdinger Award for Excellence, which encourages and
recognizes acts of exceptional public service. The foundation recognized
Goode for promoting the principles of good health and fitness through personal
counseling and training. Her competitive weight reduction and wellness group,
her series of brochures on nutrition and diet and custom-tailored guidance have
resulted in positive lifestyle changes and improved health for many Police Dept.
employees. After many years of distinguished service as a Nutritionist
with other city agencies, Goode joined the New York City Police Dept. in 1991.
Soon after her appointment, she made a personal commitment to help see to it that
New Yorks Finest were also New Yorks Healthiest.
Last year, Ms. Goode celebrated her 50th year of service as an employee of the
City of New York. | |
