Despite their best efforts, UW Medicine has not yet been able to reach fair and sustainable agreements with Aetna that ensure continued access to care and are in the best interests of patients. Effective June 1, 2025, UW Medicine’s contracts with Aetna for Medicare Advantage and Commercial services have expired and we are now out of network with Aetna. Learn more about what this means for you and what you should do next.
Recognize a Caregiver
We recognize exceptional staff through a variety of programs created to both formally and informally thank them. Driven by patient and peer input, we honor team members who have gone the extra mile through Employee and Provider of the Month programs, BEE Award, DAISY Award and Thank a Caregiver program. See our options below for recognizing a team member at Valley that made a difference in your life:
- Provider (physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant): Send a note of gratitude.
- Nurse: nominate them for a DAISY Award.
- Nurse leader: nominate them for a DAISY Leader Award.
- Non-nursing staff member: nominate them for a BEE Award.
- Send a gift to a staff member through our Online Gift Shop.
- Share thanks with a current or former staff member.
- Make a donation to Valley in honor of an individual that has passed away through the Tribute Program.
