On behalf of Manassas Health & Rehab Center, we have the pleasure of introducing you to Hector Cortez, Director of Dietary Services:

Hector Cortez is our Head Chef and Director of Dietary Services and has been working for Manassas Health & Rehab Center for a little over five years. With ten plus years of being a chef, and over 20 years of experience in the food industry, it was intriguing to know why he was working in Long-term care, and why he chose Manassas Health & Rehab! When interviewed, he expressed his love for giving back to the older generation. Hector said, “Our parents do so much for us when we’re younger, and now it’s our turn to give back to not only our parents but the parents of others”.

Providing nutritious and delicious meals for our residents is his top priority. He not only cooks for our residents, but he provides hot meals every single day for our staff members, as well! Hector is by far the most dedicated as he lives over two hours away and makes the drive every single day.

His motivation is the “teamwork and atmosphere” of the Center and how working together is very important to him. “Here {Manassas Health & Rehab Center}, there is good communication not only with the staff but also with the residents!” said Hector. Because of his leadership qualities and expertise, he was offered the position as Director of Dietary Services.

Here at Manassas Health & Rehab Center, our mission is to provide peace of mind to those we care for: our patients, residents, families, and staff. Hector continuously works every day to fulfill our mission, and we’re so grateful for his hard work. When asked what his goals are while working here, he replied, “Most people come to a job and want to keep climbing higher and higher. I want to focus on doing what’s best for my team, the residents, and just making the building better!”

Thanks to Hector, our building IS better.
