Irine Price

Irine Price, a patient care technician in Acute Care, received the ROSE Award at UnityPoint Health — Trinity Regional Medical Center.

She was nominated by a patient for the care she received while at the hospital.

“Irine was very welcoming and very compassionate,” the patient wrote. “Her tenderness and motherly attitude made me feel very, very special and loved! In my opinion, she was the best I could have hoped for. Although she wasn’t assigned to me this time, I heard her voice and called out her name. She came in with a big smile and greeted me, “Hello sunshine!” — I love that! On the day of my discharge, I had to go to the bathroom during service change and Irine came and helped me. Irine goes above and beyond for her patients.”

The ROSE Award stands for Recognition Of Service Excellence and is handed out to patient care technicians who consistently demonstrate excellence through clinical expertise, extraordinary service and compassionate care. They are recognized as outstanding role models in the nursing community.

Patient care technicians can be nominated for the ROSE Award by patients, their family members or team members at UnityPoint Health.
