Jacque Scott Recognized with ROSE Award

Jacque Scott, a behavioral health specialist at Union Hospital, has received the ChristianaCare 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.

Scott's dedication to providing intentional and attentive care led his patient to nominate him for the award. “Jacque's presence and approach stood out, particularly given the challenges I have faced in the past," Scott's patient wrote. "Many people tend to be intimidated by me because of my previous behavior or my diagnosis. Unfortunately, this has often led to feeling isolated or seen only as a patient with mental health struggles rather than as a whole person.” Scott organized group sessions that allowed his patients to create an environment where they felt supported and empowered, with “real lessons and practical skills I could take with me,” the nominator wrote. “Jacque was able to look beyond ‘labels’ and treat me with genuine respect and compassion. He acknowledged my dignity and worth. This simple but profound act made a significant difference in my recovery and overall well-being," the patient wrote.
