They are protected, and we cannot release them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Igitol said this protection is enforced by the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994.<\/p>\n<p>USERRA is the federal law that establishes rights and responsibilities for members of the National Guard and Reserve and their civilian employers. It affects employment, reemployment, employment benefits and retention in employment, when employees serve or have served in the uniformed services.<\/p>\n<p>Two service members are currently employed at the hospital. They are Dr. John Tudela and Ivan Igitol.<\/p>\n<p>During the briefing of the statement of support, Igitol and Tenorio told the staff that an awards banquet by ESGR will be held in April this year. The awards banquet seeks to honor and award employers who support ESGR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commonwealth Healthcare Corp. hospital administrator Jesse M.
