Lindsey Thomas has been named AdventHealth Gordon’s latest SonShine Award recipient. 

Thomas, a nurse tech at AdventHealth Gordon, received a nomination from her coworker who said the following: 

“Lindsey is very caring and compassionate with our patients. She particularly went above and beyond for a patient who was homeless: the patient planned on purchasing a winter coat once discharged, and Lindsey was caring and thoughtful enough to go find a coat in the donations room. The patient was extremely grateful and surprised by her act of care and compassion.”

The SonShine Award was established by AdventHealth Gordon and AdventHealth Murray 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.
