Employee Recognition

Gold Star Award

Sue Diehl

Sue did a fantastic presentation to the Board and Management Team regarding what the imaging department does and how each area works. It was informative, educational and timely. Sue was able to take complex diagnostic scans and explain them so that each person could understand and was engaged through the entire presentation. The variety of diagnostic scans that are available at VCHS is remarkable. Thank you for the wonderful presentation.

Congratulations!
