During the monthly Summit Pacific Board meeting on Thursday, May 28, Summit Pacific leadership proudly recognized the winners of the annual 2026 Patient Experience Champions Award. The celebration, attended by caregivers, leaders, Board Commissioners, and award recipients, marked one of the best attended Board meetings in Summit Pacific history.
Patient Experience Champions are nominated by their peers and selected through a vote by Summit Pacific leadership. The recognition honors caregivers who consistently demonstrate a strong commitment to creating a supportive, compassionate, and collaborative environment for patients, families, and colleagues. Honorees are recognized for communicating with kindness, empowering others through mentorship, and contributing to organizational excellence through innovation, teamwork, and continuous improvement.
Summit Pacific congratulates the following caregivers recognized as 2026 Patient Experience Champions: Jakob Berentsen, David Cundiff, Angie Ge**er, Delayne Hanson, Traci Harris, Wendy Hawkins, Jonathan Hernandez-Tapia, Sara Kinnison, Brittany Meers, Tania Mendez, and Dr. Ayan Rage.
Thank you for leading with compassion, serving with excellence, and making Summit Pacific a place where patients and caregivers alike feel valued. Your dedication inspires us all and strengthens the health of our community every day.
