The Rose Award is a peer-to-peer staff award focused on service excellence. One Rose is awarded monthly, system-wide. It provides an opportunity to highlight employees demonstrating  organizational values, inclusive of all roles. Each nomination is carefully reviewed for the voting process, selecting the stories that shine a light on team members going beyond the expectations of their job role, leaving lasting impressions on our patients, colleagues and community.

The Rose Award recipient for February 2025 is Christopher Borowiak from Security Services.

Security Officer Borowiak was nominated for this award for going above and beyond to help a distressed patient and her daughter during their visit to Skagit Regional Health – Smokey Point Urgent Care. He personally arranged for their safe transportation home when he heard that their original ride was unsafe. His compassionate and professional actions ensured their well-being and exemplified the organization's core values.

Congratulations, Christopher! Thank you for your commitment to exceptional healthcare, always.
