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.

A record-breaking $400,112.45 was raised at Valley Girls & Guys’ 17th annual March FUN Night Out—an incredible show of generosity that will provide comfort and much-needed support to local families facing cancer treatment.
A portion of these contributions will benefit Valley Cancer Center’s HOPE (Helping Oncology Patients w/Everything) Assistance Fund. The HOPE Fund helps ease the everyday burdens of cancer care by providing support for food, transportation, utilities, and other essential needs so patients and their families can focus on what matters most: healing and being together.
Funds were also raised to benefit our Multidisciplinary Clinic (MDC), helping outfit 10 new exam and consult rooms and expand the MDC beyond breast cancer to serve patients with other types of cancer.
When our community shows up, hope blooms. March FUN Night Out! is a beautiful reminder of what’s possible when people come together with purpose—creating connection, compassion, and lasting impact. We’re truly thankful to Valley Girls & Guys and to everyone who turned a fun night into a powerful act of neighbor helping neighbor. 🌸

"I am honored to nominate Sara for the We Are Valley Award. I've had the privilege of working alongside her for more than 11 years, during which she has consistently demonstrated exceptional dedication, compassion, and professionalism. She embodies Valley's mission and values in every interaction.

Sara has been my peer, my support, my encourager, and someone I am grateful to call a friend.

Her commitment to our clinic, our team, and our patients has never wavered, even in the most challenging moments of our careers.

She exemplifies outstanding teamwork and collaboration. Whether stepping in to help a colleague, offering thoughtful insight, or bringing positivity into the clinic on even the hardest days, Sara lifts the people around her. Her compassion is evident in the way she cares for patients and supports our team, and she consistently goes above and beyond to ensure the best possible experience for everyone she serves.

We've shared countless laughs and more than a few tears over the years, and I don't tell her often enough how much her support has meant to me. Sara makes Valley a better place to work, and I cannot imagine our team without her. I can think of no one more deserving of this recognition!"

"Sara is an exemplary employee and truly a pleasure to work with. She serves as the glue that holds our team together, consistently fostering collaboration, positivity, and accountability.

Sara is so supportive of her team and is always willing to step in when help is needed and consistently demonstrates professionalism and integrity.
