The 2026 Friends of Nursing and Friends of Healthcare Awards captured what makes VHC Health special: exceptional caregivers, grateful supporters, and a shared commitment to the health of the community. 

This year, 44 exceptional recipients were recognized through more than 30 endowed funds—a reflection of donor commitment to the people who care for our community each day. 

We extend our sincere gratitude to this year’s sponsors: Med-Metrix, ADI Construction, U.S. Acute Care Solutions, J.P. Morgan, and PT Solutions.
