At DCH, a “Pillar” is someone who upholds and strengthens our work and our workforce—a dependable teammate whose daily actions support excellent care, access, education, and community health. The Pillar Award recognizes those teammates who are the steady supports of our mission:
“Daviess Community Hospital is committed to improving the health of the people who live in our communities by providing excellent medical care, ensuring access to that care, teaching healthy lifestyles, and working with local agencies to meet community health needs.”
The Pillar Award is open to all DCH staff except licensed nurses (nurses are eligible for the DAISY Award). Eligible teammates include clinical and non-clinical roles across our hospital and clinics—for example: imaging, lab, rehab, cardiopulmonary/respiratory, EVS/housekeeping, dietary, patient access/registration, pharmacy, radiology, materials/central supply, transport, security, facilities, IT, finance, HR, and more.
Everyone. Patients, family members, community members, and DCH staff are welcome to submit nominations.
