NASHVILLE – The School District of Spring Valley has been named a 2026 Rosie Award winner by Health Rosetta, earning national recognition for delivering a health plan that outperforms the market on cost, quality and employee experience. The award was presented July 30 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort during RosettaFest 2026, Health Rosetta's annual gathering of the employers, advisors, and clinicians rebuilding American healthcare.

The School District of Spring Valley rose to the top of an exceptionally competitive field. From more than 10,000 employers in the Health Rosetta ecosystem, over 2,000 plans were evaluated, 182 advanced as finalists, and 88 were ultimately named Rosie Award winners.

Rosie Award winners are selected on hard evidence. Three measures drive the decision: their Plan Grader™ score, which is Health Rosetta's proprietary benchmark of health plan performance; how strategically they have reinvested their Health Rosetta Dividend, the savings generated by better plan design, back into their workforce and community; and their willingness to share what they have learned so other employers can follow. Real results, reinvested with purpose, shared generously.

For employees and their families, this recognition shows up as robust, no-cost primary care, dollars that go further, and a benefits package built around their lives. In a talent market where people have choices, that kind of plan helps the School District of Spring Valley attract the workforce they want and keep the people they already trust.

The School District of Spring Valley is also part of the ThriveTogether Collaborative Health Plan, a community-based employer collaboration curated by Alera Group. The model brings employers, advisors, providers, and care partners together around a shared goal: improving access, simplifying navigation, and building health plans that deliver better value for employees and employers alike.

"This recognition belongs to our entire team and the community we serve. We believe great healthcare is part of what we owe the people who show up every day, and we are proud of the results our plan is producing for them. Being part of a growing movement of employers proving what is possible means a great deal to us,” said Supt. John Groh.

The School District of Spring Valley's plan was designed and stewarded in close partnership with Health Rosetta Advisor Kristi Cherney of Alera Group.

"The District has been very intentional about protecting a strong, meaningful benefits program for their employees, even as many employers are being forced to reduce benefits or shift more cost,” Cherney said. “That takes leadership, discipline, and a real commitment to the people they serve. It is a privilege to partner with the School District of Spring Valley and help support the work they are doing to build a health plan that performs well and truly matters to their employees and community."
