Each year, USF employees from across campus are selected to win the award, which recognizes those who demonstrate excellence and performance that supports the overall values and standards of USF.

This year, 10 USF Health staff members won awards for their outstanding work in 2014. At the event, each employee was spotlighted as he or she received a plaque and a check for $500.
