Award Criteria

Kaye Davis, RN, Community Wellness Award

This award was initiated in 1996 to recognize a person, business or organization, which has made outstanding contributions to improve the health status of the people in our service area. The award is named after the late Kaye Davis, who devoted considerable time and talents to a nursing career, predominantly at Memorial Hospital of Iowa County, now Upland Hills Health. Nominees should have actively demonstrated a commitment to actions that promote the well being and quality of life in their communities. This may include contributions of time, talents, and/or dollars to promote, teach, or otherwise encourage wellness.

Kaye Walsh Spirit of Optimism Award

This award is presented to recognize a physician, employee or volunteer of Upland Hills Health who exemplifies a spirit of optimism and excellence in customer service when serving patients, families, and colleagues at Upland Hills Health. The award is named after the late Kaye Walsh, who devoted 17 years to serving patients at Memorial Hospital, now Upland Hills Health. Kaye served as both Staff Technician and Director of Radiology and was the first, and for many years, the only certified ultrasound technician, usually "on call" for emergency ultrasounds. Kaye's interactions with patients and colleagues were filled with empathy and optimism. The optimism Kaye demonstrated throughout her own courageous battle with cancer was an inspiration to those who knew her. Nominees should have actively demonstrated a positive attitude and spirit of optimism in their interpersonal communications with patients, families and co-workers.

The Upland Hills Health Leadership Award

The success of our organization is closely tied to the quality of our leaders. The Upland Hills Health Leadership Award is presented for the first time in 2002 to a director, manager or other Upland Hills Health employee who has demonstrated outstanding leadership for a specific project or initiative felt to be of great importance to the mission of the organization. Nominees should have actively demonstrated outstanding leadership in managing a department or a project and to teaching, coaching and mentoring others.
