Virginia Gay Hospital is proud to announce Terri Buelow as one of the esteemed recipients of the 2024 Legacy Honors. Terri devoted an incredible 26 years to Virginia Gay Hospital. Much of her career was spent working nights and second shifts, where she quickly became a trusted leader, advocate for both staff and patients, and a source of innovation and dedication.

Terri's exceptional work ethic, attention to detail, and pride in the hospital's service to the community have left an indelible mark. Known for her ability to work behind the scenes, her organizational skills, and her steadfast commitment, Terri's contributions go far beyond her daily responsibilities. Her strong faith and passion for volunteering have been evident throughout her career. In fact, Terri made it a personal mission to travel to Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina, assisting in recovery efforts and exemplifying her readiness to help in times of need.

Her genuine belief in the mission of Virginia Gay Hospital and her commitment to its success is unwavering. Over the years, Terri has consistently identified areas for improvement, implementing solutions and innovations that have become known as "Terri-isms." Many of these "Terri-isms" remain in place today, continuing to enhance the hospital's operations and care.

Terri Buelow's dedication, compassion, and leadership have left an enduring legacy at Virginia Gay Hospital, and we are honored to recognize her contributions with this prestigious award.
