Valley Volunteers Shine Bright All Year Long 🌞

April 19–24 is National Volunteer Appreciation Week—a time to celebrate the incredible individuals who make a difference at Valley every single day. While this week offers a special moment of recognition, their warm glow is felt all year round.

Throughout our hospital, volunteers show up in the moments that matter most—a kind smile at just the right time, a steady presence during uncertainty, or a helping hand when it’s needed most. Their devotion, generosity, and compassion help make Valley not only a place of care, but a place of connection.

Time and again, we’re reminded how much these moments matter. One patient, who arrived feeling especially nervous, shared, “It’s amazing how one person’s kindness can change your whole experience.” Another reflected, “The volunteers truly make you feel like family.”

We’re deeply grateful for our over 100 volunteers whose heart and light radiate throughout our hospital and community. Because of them, we’re able to shine brighter for the people we support day in and day out.

Congratulations Manjit Gill, RN in the CCU for being our inaugural WAV Awards - Patient Care Services winner! The following is an excerpt of their nomination:

"I am nominating Manjit Gill for his exceptional leadership and commitment to team success and patient care skills.
- Manjit has been tremendous CCU RN, Resource, Educator for fellow workers, team player and always ready to help. Being in the CCU as a new RN, can be very challenging, but having a good coworker and leader as Manjit is such a great support. He has always gone above and beyond helping his coworkers, always teaching new things, clearing all the doubts and questions. He not only brings an exceptional work ethic with him, but he is also innovative, creative with problem solving skills and implements improvements to enhance patient care.
- Since I have been working in CCU, I have witnessed how consistently he demonstrates dedication and professionalism at work. How he identifies potential issues regarding a patient and families and work on solution before it impacts the patient.
- I have witness him working collaboratively with positive attitude during critical situations. He always checks on his fellow coworkers. When they have really sick patients, he offers them his support and helps everyone during chaotic situations.
- I truly feel he is one of those employees who goes above and beyond their regular responsibilities and help everyone feel safe. His investment in professional growth has strengthened our team's capabilities. He is so deserving of the We Are Valley Award."

Congratulations to Stella Sebastian, RN, in the PACU, for winning the DAISY award!

Stella's nomination reads: Stella is a role model for other nurses. She leads by example when someone is in crisis or there is an emergency. On Friday June 6, there was a patient being transported from the ED to the Birth Center. The patient was in active labor and was screaming in the hallway. The ER tech was waiting for the elevator. The patient stood up from her wheelchair and then gave birth in the hallway outside of 3N. The RN in 3N was on the phone with the operator trying to get more help, Stella was walking by and was able to calmly take the phone and tell the operator we needed OB STAT team to 3N. There had been confusion as to who to call to come for help and Stella took action. As soon as the operator heard OB STAT, there was the overhead page for OB STAT Team to come help the patient.

Meanwhile, Stella grabbed gloves and jumped into action. She was calm and was able to pick the baby up and was tending to the mother while colleagues went to grab warm blankets and towels for mother and baby. Nurse Stella was so calm and collected during this event that it helped keep everyone else calm. With her quick actions she was able to help the newborn and mom until the appropriate help arrived. She worked very well with the team who reported to the lobby. She never froze or hesitated and she was able to jump into action and help as needed. It was a huge inspiration how she reacted and handled the situation outside the normal setting of PACU but was able to help the patient in the lobby. She even went above and beyond to check on the newborn and mother after this incident to ensure they both were doing well. She is the definition of a Daisy award nominee because of her demeanor and quick action to this emergency situation within the hospital.
