Fauquier Health Names Amanda O’Neill as 2022 Mercy Award Winner
May 19, 2022
Fauquier Health recently announced that Amanda, or Mandy, O’Neill has been recognized as the facility’s 2022 Mercy Award winner. The Mercy Award recognizes one employee from each of LifePoint Health’s facilities who profoundly touches the lives of others and best represents the spirit and values on which the company was founded.
The Mercy Award is an annual recognition program established in 2002 to honor the life and contributions of Scott Mercy, LifePoint’s founding chairman and chief executive officer. The award is considered the highest honor a LifePoint employee can receive.
“At Fauquier Health, we share LifePoint’s commitment to making communities healthier, and we recognize this is supported by the good work and service of our employees on and off the job,” said Anthony Young, Interim-CEO of Fauquier Health. “We are extremely proud to recognize Mandy for her efforts on behalf of our patients and our community. She goes above and beyond each and every day to ensure that every person she encounters receives the highest level of care and compassion.”
Standing with her left, to right, is Valarie Morton, Asst Director, OR, and Shawna Cochran, Director, OR.
Mandy was nominated by her peers for the Mercy Award. A selection committee came together to review over 50 award nominations and she was chosen as an exemplary employee who goes above and beyond the call of duty. Mandy is a Certified First Assist in Fauquier Hospital’s OR and demonstrates a level of commitment and caring that transcends the everyday. She respects others in everything they do, educates, and inspires others.
According to Mandy’s winning nomination, “Our staff look up to Mandy as an informal leader because of all of these superior qualities and she is an inspiration to all surgical techs who are looking to grow and become a first assistant.”
Off the job, Mandy is a devoted mother who loves spending time with her husband and raising her daughter. We are so proud to recognize Mandy with this award for her hard work and dedication to advancing our mission of Making Communities Healthier.
Each facility winner, including Mandy, will be considered for LifePoint’s 2022 companywide Mercy Award. The companywide winner will be announced this summer and honored during a ceremony in Nashville, Tenn., to which Mandy and all facility winners are invited to attend.
