Sydnee Partridge, RT(R)(M)(CT), employee at Audubon County Memorial Hospital and Clinics was honored with the first ever 2025 ROSE Award. Sydnee Partridge has worked as an ACMH radiology technician in the Radiology Department since 2021.
The ROSE Award is an acronym for Recognition Of Service Excellence. The ROSE program shines a light on non-nursing employees that go beyond the expectations of their job descriptions. These service champions leave lasting impressions that bring true meaning to the phrase “Excellence with quality and compassion to those we serve.”
In order to be considered for this award, the employee must meet the criteria of the ROSE award: Rapport (Develops close and harmonious relationships with the intention to understand and communicate with others effectively), Optimistic (Displays the qualities of hope and positivity throughout the organization), Sincere (Offers genuine, heartfelt sincerity and earnest devotion without reservation) and Empathy (Has the ability to understand various perspectives within others and respond to their experience in a compassionate and caring manner). To determine the award honoree, the nominations were reviewed and voted on by five ACMH nursing staff. Nominations could be made by patients, family, friends, co-workers or volunteers.
Sydnee is the first recipient of the ACMH ROSE Award and we are excited to bring this annual Award to ACMH. Sydnee was nominated by Sarah Asmus, OPC/Surgery Manager. Sarah wrote the following about Sydnee in her nomination form:

Words our pain management specialist, Brian Jacobs, sent regarding Sydnee:
“I’m writing to complement our radiology technician, Sydney. I was having a miserable week last week, but was quickly cheered up during my first procedure as Sydney anticipated (and even reminded me of) my needs during the case. To this extent, she consistently takes initiative in preparing for our cases and double checking our clinic orders and these efficiencies contribute greatly to the flow in our pain clinic.”
Beyond her meticulous attention to detail, she is loved by our patients. This is the only facility I’ve ever gone to where patients comment they are happy to see the radiology technologist upon entering the procedure room. This undoubtedly puts patients at ease before procedures and positively influences the patient experience. Her close ties with our community, expertise, and excellent attitude make her a tremendous asset to our facility.
I look forward to working with her for years to come.”-Brian Jacobs, CRNA
Congratulations to Sydnee for the dedication and commitment displayed with a friendly smile and the willingness to help co-workers and patients at Audubon County Memorial Hospital and Clinics.
ACMH looks forward to sharing these special award honorees with the community.
