Family Connections: Jonathan and Holly Hodges

We like to think of Valley Health as one large family, and nothing personifies that more than when family members work together in our health system. Husband and wife Jonathan and Holly Hodges enjoy seeing each other throughout the day at Shenandoah Memorial Hospital (SMH) and appreciate having a job close to home.

Husband: Jonathan Hodges, Facilities Management, SMH

Jonathan

What do you like about working with your wife? I get to see Holly from time to time during the day. Her personality brightens my day as well as everyone she comes in contact with.

Why did you choose VHS/SMH? I enjoy fixing things and helping others. SMH is much closer to home for me than my previous job, and I like being able to spend more time at home and not on the road as before. I wanted a change in my career and Valley Health/SMH seemed like a good fit. The atmosphere in Facilities is pretty calm. The overall atmosphere at SMH is very friendly and I have met some really nice people here. In my spare time I enjoy restoring antique vehicles and working on mechanical things here at SMH. I also enjoy my work schedule here. Holly and I are able to have a good work/life balance both working at SMH.

What do you like about working with your husband? Jonathan and I have always worked well together on anything we are doing. We make a good team on different projects, both professionally and personally. It is nice to both be part of the same team and having our work environment and coworkers in common. I have been with VHS for 28 years, and I am proud that my husband has chosen to work in the same place that I do. Jonathan is very good with people and has such an easygoing personality. It just lends itself to have him work here at SMH.

Why did you choose VHS/SMH? I am a caregiver by nature. I like the caring atmosphere of VHS/SMH and the feeling of a family unit here at work. I have always worked in jobs that are more people-oriented and I feel a great sense of accomplishment in helping others. I have a teaching background as well and I love working with others and training and teaching others. SMH fosters and promotes a great sense of family and caring for our patients and one another as co-workers. Everyone at SMH looks after one another and provides a nice working environment.

Work With Family

At Valley Health, we are looking for passionate, innovative, and caring people who will each bring their unique skills and perspectives to our workplace. We believe our exceptional team members are the foundation of our culture and key to our success at providing safe, high-quality care with high reliability.

We encourage our caregivers to invite their family, friends and network of dedicated colleagues to work (and perhaps live) in a community like ours. We offer an expanded employee referral bonus program which includes a $1,000 and up to $5,000 bonus (depending on position) for BOTH the referring employee AND the new hire being referred.
