Kayla Vandegriff has been named AdventHealth Murray’s latest SonShine Award recipient.
Vandegriff, an associate IT support specialist at AdventHealth Murray, received a nomination from her coworker who said the following:
“When a recent IT issue occurred, Kayla was boots on the ground to get all the computers up and running here in the hospital as well as in all the surrounding clinics. She had several long days and then the other night, the severe thunderstorms came through and eliminated one of our clinic’s computers, leading to more issues, and she went straightaway to get those fixed, along with other issues in the hospital. She needs to be recognized for her tireless efforts and quick responses.”
The SonShine Award was established by AdventHealth Murray and AdventHealth Gordon in 2017 to honor the hard work and dedication of its employees. Quarterly awards provide opportunities for patients, visitors and other team members to recognize and reward team members for exceptional accomplishments and demonstrated behaviors that are aligned to the mission, vision and values of AdventHealth.
The name SonShine was developed by AdventHealth Murray and AdventHealth Gordon team members. The recipients of the SonShine award “shine” for the “Son” of God through their warm and comforting care they provide to patients and their fellow employees.
