IGHL is proud to announce that Kiresh Shah, Coordinator of Day Hab Services at Roanoke Day Hab, is the October 2025 Employee of the Month.
Kiresh began his journey with IGHL 6 years ago as a Direct Support Professional at our Pine St ICF. After spending a little over a year there, he was promoted to Coordinator of Day Hab for Roanoke Day Hab in April of 2021 - a position he still holds. Kiresh is a hard worker and puts his all into his job. He is extremely hands on and passionate about every element of the day at Roanoke. He is reliable, friendly at all times, and always down for whatever is needed. He works extensive hours in our residences after his shifts at Roanoke - currently he helps most at Quogue, but previously has picked up at Pine St ICF, Flanders, and Speonk. Kiresh cares very deeply for all of the people we serve, specifically at Roanoke - he advocates strongly for them, makes sure the environment is very positive, plans great trips and activities, visits rehabs and hospitals when they are having hard times - this list goes on. He is extremely proud of his staff, praises them endlessly and is very humble; always shifting praise to others. Kiresh is an excellent, reliable, hard working, passionate employee and deserves recognition. Roanoke and IGHL are very lucky to have him!
Congratulations, Kiresh!

IGHL is proud to announce that Devin Schunk, Assistant Director of Nursing at Pine St ICF, is the September 2025 Employee of the Month.
Devin oversees nursing care for our most medically complex individuals at IGHL, a task that has grown increasingly challenging due to significant staffing shortages in the nursing field over the last few years. She has been with IGHL 11 years - working her way from a DSP, to LPN, to RN, to manager and most currently Assistant Director. Throughout this time, Devin has exemplified the highest level of commitment, routinely stepping up to fill open shifts, adjusting her schedule, and being available around the clock to ensure her staff and individuals are always supported in their needs and care. Her willingness to go above and beyond to ensure 24-hour care and oversight has been nothing short of extraordinary.
Devin works tirelessly to facilitate communication and coordination with overseeing medical providers, ensuring that every patient receives comprehensive, personalized care. She fosters a collaborative team environment, regularly engaging with families and treatment teams both internally and within the hospital networks and beyond to create a holistic approach to patient care. Moreover, Devin plays a pivotal role in supporting the professional development of her staff. She actively encourages and supports her team members as they pursue advanced education and training, contributing to their growth and success within the organization. She has supported several DSP’s in working towards their nursing licensure as well as nurses looking to advance from LPN to RN. Devin also actively participates in the leadership training program, bringing the knowledge and tools she has learned from this experience to share with her team to help strengthen their skills and abilities.
Her unwavering dedication, work ethic, and leadership make Devin Schunk a truly deserving candidate for Employee of the Month. We are grateful for her hard work and ongoing contributions to the success of our team and the well-being of those we care for.
Congratulations, Devin!
The award ceremony for Devin will take place at Pine St ICF on 9/30/25 at 1pm. For those who are unable to attend, the celebration will be posted on Facebook.
