Some of the most meaningful acts of service happen when someone sees a need and steps in without being asked. That is exactly the kind of teammate Dave has been since joining the Troy campus. Although his primary role is in Police Services, Dave has repeatedly gone beyond his job responsibilities to support the Environmental Services team during periods of understaffing and increased workload.

From taking out trash and transporting linens to cleaning emergency department rooms and assisting with patient discharges, Dave consistently stepped in wherever help was needed to ensure patient care areas remained safe, clean, and ready for those who depended on them. His willingness to help across departments reflects a deep commitment to teamwork and patient care. Rather than seeing tasks as “someone else’s responsibility,” Dave approaches every challenge with a service-first mindset and a desire to support the entire campus.

Dave’s actions exemplify the Kettering Health values of Belonging, Leadership, and Excellence through his collaboration, reliability, and positive attitude. He has built strong relationships across departments and is known for treating patients and coworkers alike with kindness, respect, and professionalism.

We at KH Troy are thrilled to honor Dave with the Excellence in Action Award. Congratulations, Dave.

Jim is gifted in ways that always leave a lasting impact on everyone around him. Whether he is solving complex facility issues, mentoring students, or quietly helping a coworker in need, Jim approaches every interaction with humility, compassion, and a servant’s heart.

Known as someone leaders trust with the toughest assignments, Jim consistently takes ownership of his work and looks for ways to improve the campus. From installing rooftop lighting that beautifully showcases the facility to proactively maintaining critical systems such as generators, electrical equipment, and fire alarms, he brings excellence and initiative to every project. He also shares his experience generously by mentoring Pathways students and assisting other campuses whenever support is needed.

What truly sets Jim apart is the way he cares for others beyond the job itself. Whether giving up part of his lunch to quickly repair equipment so a patient would not face delays, volunteering to help with on-call coverage, or quietly supporting coworkers in personal ways, Jim continually demonstrates kindness in action. His actions reflect our values of Leadership and Excellence through his service, mentorship, reliability, and compassion.

When he hears of a need, he will be there to quietly fill that need. It would be difficult to find a better example of living God’s love.

Jim, thank you for the wisdom, generosity, and care you bring to others each day. Congratulations.
