From the moment Sharon arrived at Valley Regional Hospital, she felt the embrace of her community. “The care was incredible at every single stage,” Sharon shares.

From the ER that pinpointed her lymphoma, to the lab teams drawing her blood, to the oncology staff who guided her through treatment—every corner of the hospital played a part in her healing.

Lloyd Ward’s life was rooted in community, kindness, and quiet generosity. He shared his many talents with others, never expecting anything in return.

In his final chapter, Lloyd faced a ten-month battle with complicated health issues, during which Valley Regional became a second home.

When Lloyd passed in 2024, his daughter felt called to make a legacy gift –a heartful tribute to a man who lived by the simple belief that kindness matters.

Memorial gifts are a special way to remember a loved one, by continuing to care for others. Through thoughtful gifts in Lloyd’s memory, his belief in helping others continues to make a difference, one patient at a time.
