PVH Champions of Excellence

At Penobscot Valley Hospital, we believe that the strength of our care lies in the dedication and heart of our people. The PVH Champions of Excellence program celebrates individuals who have gone above and beyond in embracing our core values—Excellence, Patient-Centered Care, Integrity, Compassion, and Quality.

Each month, many of our employees are recognized by their peers, patients, and leaders for the meaningful ways they live out these values. From this group, one outstanding individual is selected as the winner of our monthly Champions of Excellence contest. These honorees exemplify what it means to be a part of the PVH family and inspire those around them to serve with purpose, kindness, and commitment.

Their contributions are a powerful reminder of the positive impact we can make—together—on the health and well-being of our community. If you would like to nominate a PVH employee as a Champion of Excellence, please fill out this form and submit it!
