Logan Health’s Surgical Services employees have come together to honor the legacy of their friend and colleague, John Fitch, by supporting the John Fitch Surgical Services Excellence Award. This annual award recognizes surgical services staff who exemplify John’s dedication to excellence, collaboration, advocacy, and positive change. Over the past year, clinicians and staff from Surgical Services have generously contributed more than $40,000 to support the award’s endowment, ensuring it will inspire and reward exceptional care for years to come.
The award not only serves as a tribute to John’s extraordinary commitment to his patients and team but also as a reminder of the values he upheld daily. Each year, the recipient of this honor is selected for their outstanding contributions to Surgical Services and their embodiment of John’s legacy of selflessness and dedication to excellence in care.
“Being the recipient of this award was a great honor to me,” said Nicole Harms, lead operating room technician at Logan Health Medical Center and the inaugural recipient of the John Fitch Surgical Services Excellence Award. “John was such a hard worker, always dedicated to doing what was best for his patients and his team. I strive every day to do the best for my patients and my team, just as he did. I hope that John’s legacy lives on through others who go above and beyond, like he did, and will receive this award for all their hard work.”
The John Fitch Surgical Services Excellence Award represents more than just recognition—it celebrates the heart and dedication of those who go above and beyond to improve care and support their teams.
Thanks to the generosity of Logan Health employees, the endowment continues to grow, providing a lasting tribute to John’s legacy and fostering a culture of excellence within Surgical Services.
