The Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Environmental Services department is celebrating Environmental Services week this week from Monday, September 25- Friday, September 29. Throughout the week, the management team oraginze some fun filled events to show their appreciation to all Environmental Services colleagues.

The management team also prepared personalized gifts such as hand written notes and filled water tumblers with candy as one of the gift gifted during the event for all 108 Environemental Services department colleagues. 

I asked a couple of colleagues who were enjoying Chinese food at the patio today on what they think about the Environmental Services Week celebration as well as working for the Environmental Services department at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. Here are what they says:

Grace Awards

“The Grace Awards are in honor of Lucile Salter Packard, and the reason we called it the Grace Awards is because she was known as a woman of grace,” said Christopher G. Dawes, president and CEO at Stanford Children’s Health. “Her vision and compassion led to the creation of Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. It is truly unique.”
The Grace Awards recognize outstanding achievement and dedication in caring for children and expectant mothers. This year Stanford Children’s Health named Eleazer Delgadillo, housekeeping assistant, as a Grace Award winner and the 2017 Employee of the Year.
“Eleazer exudes a warm energy to everyone around her, and she’s humble,” said Jill Sullivan, MSN, RN, vice president of hospital transformation, referencing comments shared by Eleazer’s colleagues.  “She doesn’t expect recognition for her work, and she truly deserves recognition. She’s a major asset to our hospital.”
