Owensboro Health has named its 2021 President’s Award recipients, recognizing 15 team members for their dedication to the system’s mission and core values.

“The individuals recognized embody our core commitments of Integrity, Teamwork, Excellence, Service, Respect, and Innovation in extraordinary ways,” a release from OH reads.

Recipients are nominated by their peers, giving more than 4,500 team members the chance to shine a spotlight on their colleagues. A committee of former winners then reviews nominations. Names are withheld so the awards are judged solely on merit.

The awards are a closely guarded secret until they are presented. Recipients do not know they are nominated until the awards are announced.

Owensboro Health President and CEO Mark Marsh said the awards mean more than ever this year.

“They serve with distinction, honor and compassion as recognized by their colleagues, and we are grateful they have chosen to spend their careers with us,” Marsh said of the recipients. “It takes all of us together to provide excellent care, and I truly believe we can accomplish anything if we work together.”

The President’s Awards were established in 1996 and are presented annually. Team member recipients receive their choice of a selection of prizes, while physician winners choose a charity where Owensboro Health will make a donation in their name.
