When Tommy Lewis was brought to Piedmont Henry's Emergency Department after a bicycle accident, our trauma team acted quickly to stabilize him. While Tommy was recovering, the team learned that his bike—his only mode of transportation—had been destroyed in the accident. That’s when Justin Connelly, one of our amazing ED nurses, stepped in. Justin went above and beyond, purchasing Tommy a new bike and helmet. “I was not expecting this,” Tommy said. “I believe it is important for people to care for each other.” We couldn’t agree more, Tommy! Caring for our community goes beyond treatment—it’s about making a positive difference whenever we can.

We are proud to recognize Wayne Johnson with our President's Award, the highest level of recognition for our staff's commitment to the Piedmont Promise. One morning, while driving to work, Wayne noticed smoke coming from a basement window. Without a second thought, he pulled over, knocked on the door, and found a family inside. Wayne rushed in and made sure everyone was out of the home, got back in his car, and drove to work. Fast forward five months: while treating a patient at work, Wayne had an incredible surprise—the man he was talking to helping was part of the family he had rescued! In a heartwarming moment, they hugged and celebrated their reunion. Wayne truly exemplifies the Piedmont promise, making a positive difference in every life he touches. We’re so thankful to have compassionate heroes like him on our team!
