Congratulations to Security Officer Derrick Manning, one of Valley's November Heroes. Derrick goes above and beyond to help patients and their families in the ED lobby, especially patients who are discharged and in need of resources. He put together a collection of resources at his desk and even helps patients call and secure shelter housing or various other resources when needed. Derrick is patient, cheerful and positive and is a vital part of our ED team in the evenings. He truly puts patients first while helping to keep the ED safe and secure.

Kudos to Liz RN in the Birth Center and one of Valley's October Heroes. The nominator writes "Being a Valley employee myself, I had heard how wonderful the care was at the Birth Center, and was so pleasantly surprised that everything I heard was true! Liz didn't know I was an employee, yet she treated (my son's girlfriend) with such respect and kindness the whole time she was under their care. Liz explained what was happening and why, and what was next. Thanks, Liz, for putting your patients first!
