We had the privilege of recognizing two outstanding individuals with the Exceptional Employee Award at the 2026 Staff Retreat.

This award highlights employees who embody the UCSF PRIDE Values: Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Diversity, and Excellence. These values guide how we work, collaborate with colleagues, and serve our patients.

The Exceptional Employee Award was proudly presented to Oscar Lleva, NP-C, and Daniella Silva!

Oscar is a valued member of the OHNS inpatient team at Parnassus, providing comprehensive care for adult patients with complex otolaryngologic conditions. His clinical expertise, collaboration, and dedication to patients make him an essential resource for the inpatient team.
