The nominations for the Mercy Award are submitted by staff at Fauquier Health and recognize exceptional commitment to patients, fellow employees, and the community. This year’s Mercy Award winner is Patricia Jeffries, BSN, RN, Director of Case Management.

“The Mercy Award commends individuals who consistently go beyond the call of duty in serving our patients and our community,” said Rebecca Segal, Fauquier Health CEO. “Patty has been with Fauquier Health for more than 30 years and is known throughout our organization as a great team member and a champion for patient safety. Her leadership and dedication to both Fauquier Health and our community is outstanding. Patty demonstrates a level of commitment and caring that transcends the everyday. She inspires others with compassion, dedication, and honesty. I feel honored to know Patty.”

Several nominations were submitted for Patty, highlighting her care for others and her selflessness in volunteering for community and employee events, even at night and on weekends. “Patty is the one who notices all the little things,” stated one nomination. “She is the one who remembers anniversaries, birthdays, and celebrations. She even works with the kitchen staff to make special birthdays for patients. She cares passionately about the well-being and resilience of staff and patients alike.” Another nomination read, “Patty is a fixture at every health fair and community event. She has a true servant’s heart. Patty makes sure everyone feels valued and heard.”
