Our Trillium Award Winner and Nominees!
Like the native trillium flower that blooms in the Blue Ridge Mountains and signals the arrival of spring and renewal in our mountain communities, our Trillium Award recipients bring hope, healing, and positive transformation to those they serve.
Each week on Trillium Tuesday we will highlight one of the nominees for this quarter!
We are excited to announce Donna Gibson, FNP-C as the winner of the June 2026 Trillium Award. Donna is a Family Nurse Practitioner at our Laurel Fork and Carroll County High School clinics. She has been with Tri-Area Community Health for 8 years. Donna was announced as the recipient on June 19th, 2026 during the Employee Appreciation Day held at Floyd Familly Campground.
Just a few of the comments from her nominations:
"Donna has compassion for all her patients & coworkers. No matter how difficult her day may be, she puts others first."
"Donna is the absolute best when it comes to health care. She listens and truly cares for her patients."
"As one of her patients, I can tell you she takes time to really explain everything that is going on and one thing she says that really sticks with me is, "Don't you worry about that test result. That's my job. You let me do the worrying and you just take care of yourself."
