Congratulations to Becky Lyons Dills, ARNP, a provider in our inpatient Wound Care department and our September 2022 Provider of the Month! Read what her patient and colleague had to say: "I have been in the hospital for 10 days with a serious abdominal infection. Becky was my wound care nurse. She treated me with kindness, dignity, and respect. She was always warm and caring. She made all the difference in my stay at Valley. She took her time with me and explained all the procedures to ease my fears. She was gentle and thorough. I believe my healing is greatly due to her expertise. She brought sunshine to my room with each of her visits; my gratitude it endless. Thank you, Becky!!!" "Becky works well with members across the healthcare team. She has received several patient compliments for her kindness and her caring. She takes time to individualize her care to meet the learning needs of patients with newly placed ostomies to ensure they and their family members have the competence and confidence in managing their care when they return home.

Valley is pleased to recognize two Leaders of the Quarter, Kim Petram, Director, Case Management, and Trevor Lanz, Assistant Nurse Manager, General Medicine. While these two leaders have different approaches to many things in their off-work hours, they bring their quest for excellence and achievement to their professional lives to benefit the whole Valley community. Fun fact to note about each of them is how differently they approach mountains in their off hours. Kim is a former ski racer and currently serves as a certified ski instructor who tackles the toughest routes down a mountain, while Trevor has focused on hiking challenging routes up mountains, including to the base camp of Mt. Everest. Thank you to both Kim and Trevor for their excellent leadership and for being integral to the Valley team!

Congratulations to Dawn Jensen, a resource coordinator in our Patient Care Services department and one of Valley's September 2022 Heroes! "Dawn is always there, ready to help, hands on, learning, teaching, going the extra mile. I am new to Valley and can say with complete confidence she is one of our greatest assets. I've never had the pleasure of working with someone so capable, helpful, positive and team oriented. Today she helped patients who had found themselves in the employee elevator get to where they need to go, not by showing but by walking. As I am new, I ask many questions, she is always willing to help, teach or learn with me together. Dawn helps keep our environment clean through communication with housekeeping and borrowing necessary equipment so that we can keep our space clean. She lifts everyone up around her and requires excellence from herself and all those around her. "
