One Culture Awards
Our culture is the heart of our company and is woven into the fabric of who we are. It makes Van Buren County Hospital a special place to work, and it gives us a unique advantage. Building and sustaining our culture requires intentional effort from everyone at VBCH.
2025 Winners
Be One: Valerie Hulsizer
"Even though this person is doing many new things herself, she never hesitates to step up and lend a hand when other departments need it. I have never seen her without a smile on her face, and she seems genuinely committed to putting all patients first. She doesn't see just her departments patients as her patients, she sees everyone as VBCH patients." - A nomination about Valerie
Personalized Care: Kyle Davolt
“Personally, I have been able to witness this individual’s professionalism and bedside manner as the family member of a patient in the ED. He is attentive to his job and continually checks and double checks stats, vitals and patient needs while caring for them in tough situations. He also does all of it with a bit of humor, his laugh is contagious, and you just can’t help but smile when you hear his laughter in the room with your patient.” - Nomination for Kyle Davolt
Own It: Bethany Thomas
"In my roll I call and talk to a lot of patients daily and if I bring up financial assistance or anything related to billing a lot of them will comment on how they have worked with this person, and how wonderful she is. I really want to recognize her for what a great job she does every day and how much she's appreciated by so many staff members"- Nomination for Bethany.
Improve Daily: Gladiola Moore
"She always does her work with a smile and kind guidance and is very much about the team. She definitely beleives in improving daily. VBCH is lucky to have her on our team. Thank you Gladi Moore for all that you do." - Nomination for Gladiola Moore
Innovate: Elizabeth Wilson
“One of the things that make a great innovator is not being okay with being just okay. This staff member has recognized that it was time to make some changes to the program and has started to research and think out of the box of ways to take this program to the next level." -Nomination for Liz Wilson
