✨ 2025 Spark Award Winners ✨
Where there’s a spark, there’s a better way and this year three innovators lit up our communities:
Josh Rambeau, Dining Services Lead – The Springs at Lake Oswego
Turned meal service into a symphony: a delivery-binder for 30+ residents, pocket “service cards” with specials & duties, and server scheduling system that keeps things on budget.
Ron Shipman, Fitness & Wellness Coach – The Springs at Clackamas Woods
Reimagined wellness with weekly “Fitness Labs,” quarterly community-wide challenges, and 10-minute staff workouts that make movement contagious from the gym to the break room.
Katelynn Wolff, Life Enrichment Assistant – The Springs at Missoula
Sparked the Kindness Krew, weaving volunteerism into daily life walking with Memory Care on The Longest Day and stocking backpacks for local kids—proving service can ripple far beyond our walls.
Together, Josh, Ron, and Katelynn show that innovation isn’t a department it’s a mindset that lifts every plate, heartbeat, and act of kindness. Join us in cheering them on!
