Montrose Regional Health announced Tiffany Stewart, caregiver-engagement manager in human resources, received the 2026 Community Hospital Corporation Mike Williams Award, which recognizes hospital employees who demonstrate exceptional compassion, service and commitment to their colleagues and communities.

Previously known as the Dan Wilford Award for Compassion and Community Service, the award was renamed to honor Mike Williams, Community Hospital Corporation’s first employee and longtime CEO, who led the organization from 1996 to 2017. During his tenure, Williams helped nearly 100 hospitals strengthen operations and better serve their communities.

“Being born and raised in Montrose, this community means everything to me,” Stewart said. “I’m truly honored to be recognized for serving this community alongside the amazing caregivers I work with every day. I’m incredibly grateful to be part of Montrose Regional Health.”

Bill Milner, former director of human resources at Montrose Regional Health, nominated Stewart, and he wrote in the nomination: “Tiffany consistently exceeds expectations in her role and embodies the highest standards of community involvement and personal integrity. She takes the time to build trust and create a supportive environment for caregivers. Her strong work ethic, excellent communication skills and genuine concern for others make her a trusted and respected member of the team.”
