Recognizing OR Services Excellence (ROSE) Provider Award

In 2025, Jessica Shrewsbury, BSN, RN, CTL, launched the Recognizing OR Services Excellence (ROSE) Provider Award to celebrate providers within Operating Room Services (ORS) who consistently go above and beyond in delivering exceptional patient care and supporting their teams.

To support this initiative, a multidisciplinary council was established to review nominations, and a QR code submission process was created to make recognizing excellence easy and accessible for staff. Thanks to this structured approach, the program has been a strong success remaining on track to honor one outstanding ORS provider each quarter in 2026.

Honoring Excellence in ORS

Since its inception, the ROSE Award has proudly recognized the following providers:

• Dr. Christopher Bayne – Pediatric Urology
• Matthew Elledge, CRNA – Anesthesia
