Congratulations to our December 2025 Heart of Gold recipients, nominated by their colleagues:
Valarie Carter | Imaging & Diagnostics
Alivia Raleigh | RN, Emergency Care Center
An excerpt from Valarie’s nomination:
“Valarie is one of those rare people who make everything and everyone around her better. She truly lives out Covenant’s values every single day, and it shows in the way she works, the way she treats others, and the way she carries herself — with kindness, dedication, and a heart full of compassion. She’s the go-to person for just about everything in Imaging — PACS, Epic, Fluency, workstation quirks, tricky situations with patients, or complicated calls from physician offices. No matter the issue, Valarie jumps into action without hesitation, always ready to find a solution. Her spirit, dedication, and heart inspire us all, every day. She truly is the heart of gold.”
An excerpt from Alivia’s nomination:
Alivia received 20 nominations from her colleagues. In summary, they said: Alivia is a very kind, reliable, trustworthy, team player of a coworker. Every time she steps into a patient's room, she is kind and looks to listen and understand. Her contributions to the ER go far beyond what is expected of her. She has an unmatched ability to remain composed under pressure, mentor her colleagues, and provide compassionate care to every patient she encounters. Her presence in the ER is a gift, and she continually inspires everyone around her to do their best. Alivia's contributions are not only invaluable in the moment but have a lasting impact on the patients and staff she works with.
