The vital and hard work of our Environmental Services team was recognized this week by a national distributor of medical supplies. 

The recognition comes during Environmental Services Week. 

Family, friends and coworkers of longtime Lompoc Valley Medical Center employee Lori Cornejo Morris surprised her with a drive-by parade in honor of her retirement. Lori recently retired, and due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the hospital is not yet able to formally honor her with a celebration.
