Taylor Sewell Honored With ROSE Award
Making the world a 'wonderful place' with a 'positive attitude'
Taylor Sewell, Community Health program assistant, has received the Christiana Care ROSE Award. ROSE stands for Raising Our Standard of Excellence, recognizing outstanding partners in nursing who help deliver compassionate, excellent care to patients and families.
Sewell was nominated by a patient’s family member who cited her exceptional patient care and positive attitude during an Emergency Department visit.
“Taylor went above and beyond to help my 85-year-old father with his nosebleed in a very busy ED,” her nominator wrote. “She ensured my father was okay throughout his entire visit. She assisted the doctor and offered alternatives for blood clots. She held his hand, made jokes to comfort him, and even offered me food, drinks and a break.”

The nominator appreciated how attentive Sewell was during their emergency room visit.
“At the end of our visit, she wheeled my dad out, helped him into the car, buckled him in and wished us ‘happy holidays,’” he wrote. “If everyone embraced the positive attitude that Taylor exemplified, the world would be such a wonderful place. We are grateful for the few hours we were fortunate enough to spend with her.”
