Congratulations to Daniel Pineda, RCH Information Services Systems Administrator, for receiving our first quarter Pillar of Excellence Award of 2026!
 
This quarterly award recognizes employees who display positive behaviors and characteristics as defined in our Dare to Soar standards, values, and RCH mission. Employees receiving this award demonstrate these behaviors and characteristics on a consistent basis. Selection for this award recognizes these employees for their outstanding commitment and demonstration of concern, respect, and professionalism.
 
The Pillar of Excellence Award is a step above the typical ’employee of the month’ model of recognition. In order to receive this award, employees are nominated by a co-worker that fills out a nomination form that must fully illustrate how the employee demonstrates EXCELLENCE IN EACH CATEGORY of our Dare to Soar values. The nomination that meets the standards of the application as well as the award is chosen by our Employer of Choice team.

The First Quarter Pillar Award is given to recognize Daniel Pineda, who displays positive Dare to Soar behaviors and characteristics from our standards, values, and RCH mission.

 

Our Information Systems are complex! With each issue presented to Daniel, he takes the initiative to identify and solve the specific issue before it escalates. He shows patience as he guides through the issue and, in many cases, mentors so others understand the process. Daniel fosters such a positive, collaborative environment. Daniel understands our time constraints and offers additional support and follow-up as we need. While it seems that IS can speak a different language, Daniel is always able to communicate complex information clearly without judgment and provides consistent and incredible support.

 

Thanks to Daniel for being someone we can count on at RCH!
