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 April 2025 is Cindy Grillot from the Orthopedics & Surgical Care unit at Skagit Valley Hospital.

Cindy was nominated by multiple peers for being a dedicated and compassionate team member who goes above and beyond to support both her colleagues and patients. She has formed a remarkable bond with a long-term resident patient, consistently providing comfort, companionship and joyful connection, which has positively impacted the entire team’s approach to care.

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