Recognizing our core values – the Good Samaritan Award

Category:

Loma Linda University Health’s (LLUH) core values form the very foundation of our organization. These values guide us in our daily endeavors, inspiring us to provide the best care and support to our community.

The Good Samaritan Award is presented to employees who exemplify one or more of LLUH's core values in an exceptional manner. As a token of our appreciation, Good Samaritan Award recipients receive a virtual medallion and a $100 points certificate through our Inspire – Values Recognition Program.

We believe every act of kindness contributes to the fabric of our organization. Therefore, we encourage all LLUH employees to support in this initiative by nominating their colleagues who have made a significant impact through their actions.

Nomination stories are accepted year-round through the Inspire website. Navigate to the "Nominate" tab located on the red toolbar at the top of the page and select "Good Samaritan Award" from the list of available awards.

Share your colleagues' stories and help them join our Good Samaritans. Together, we can make a difference — one act of kindness at a time.
