The Mahaska Health Award of Excellence is our non-nursing Employee Recognition Program that recognizes full and part-time employees of Mahaska Health for their performance, dedication, and diligence in carrying out their duties and in advancing the goals and mission of Mahaska Health.
The Mahaska Health Award of Excellence employee recognition program identifies employees who serve as models to the community for professional achievement and reinforce Mahaska Health’s commitment to recognizing outstanding performance. The Mahaska Health Award of Excellence was established for non-nursing employees to align with the DAISY Award. We want our programs to work hand-in-hand, as we know the overall success of Mahaska Health and award winning care of our patients, rests in the hands of each of our employees.
