On our October 20, 2021 IS & RESO Open Forum, BJ Moore recognized the Q3 winners of our EVP/CIO SMIle Awards. Winners were selected from seven highly-competitive peer nominations.
This was our third quarter of our IS & RESO peer-nominated award program recognizing business achievements of both individuals and teams who live our Providence Values, lead with excellence, and demonstrate the Simplify, Modernize, Innovate principles, so crucial to the success of our combined organization. Q3 once again also included a special large group category.
Team Winners: Caregiver Safety & Training
Please congratulate Brenda Camacho, Safety & Environmental Health manager, Cynthia Holm, Safety & Environmental Health manager, Karen Rodriguez, Safety & Environmental Health manager, and Angela Wang, regional safety manager! This team continues to go above and beyond in assuring our caregiver’s COVID-19 safety support needs are met. Relying upon science to drive protocols, they have been instrumental in adapting and creating protocols to evolving policies and guidelines. They have also ensured caregivers use PPE appropriately with equipment training and education updates.
Individual Winner: Phil Lafata, senior design & construction manager
Normally assigned to Montana, Phil has supported Texas and California for design and construction when both regions were short on resources. Phil’s cross-region resource sharing simplified project management and limited the need to call upon a third party. His approach relied on standardized processes, consistent across the organization, creating consistency and eliminating redundancy and silos.
Special Group Honor: Northern California go-live
This special category honors the efforts on the Northern California go-live spanning teams across IS. Congratulations!
