Please join us in congratulating Victoria Chaney on being named Memorial Hospital and Manor’s 4th Quarter 2025 Sunshine Award winner!
The Sunshine Award recognizes healthcare team members who brighten the days of their patients, families, and fellow staff at Memorial Hospital and Manor. Honorees are team members who assist nursing with patient care and are selected based on their demonstration of our hospital values: Accountability, Teamwork, Integrity, Excellence, Compassion, Innovation, and Trust. Sunshine Award recipients personify the remarkable patient experience at MHM and consistently demonstrate excellence through extraordinary, compassionate care.
Victoria, who serves in our Emergency Department, was nominated by a co-worker who shared the following:
“Let me first start off by saying Victoria Chaney is hands down, bar-none one of the best employees at Memorial Hospital and Manor — no question. I first had the privilege of meeting Victoria when she was in high school and participated in the hospital apprenticeship program her senior year. I knew from the moment I met her that she was going to do some amazing things.
Fast forward a year and she is working as a tech full time in the Emergency Department, while taking her nursing school pre-reqs. For the last two years I have watched this young lady work harder than anyone I have ever seen. For the past two years I have had the absolute pleasure of working alongside her — not only calling her a co-worker, but a friend as well.
Victoria is the person that lifts everyone’s spirits when they are having a bad day — whether it be with a joke, a kind word, a smile, or just being there not only for staff to talk to but patients as well. She takes as much pride in her work, if not more, as we floor nurses do and never hesitates to jump in and lend a hand when you need it. Sometimes before you can even ask her to do something she already has it done and has started working on the next task. We in the ED would be absolutely lost without her. I am so proud to have the privilege of calling her a co-worker, and I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this award than she is.”
Victoria, thank you for the positivity, dedication, and compassion you bring to our Emergency Department each and every day. You truly brighten our hospital and embody what the Sunshine Award represents.
