The Vic is the small hospital with a big heart and a clear vision because of the people who care for patients with such dedication and compassion and make the Vic a warm and welcoming place for visitors. These are our miracle workers, the doctors, nurses, allied health staff, volunteers, and support services staff who work tirelessly to make the Vic the best possible place that it can be.

Our miracle makers are people just like you, the donors and supporters who help make miracles happen by generously supporting the essential projects and services underway at the Vic. They are the thousands of donors who believe in this hospital and share our vision for the future of health care in our community.

We are pleased to share with you some of the inspiring stories of our many miracle workers and miracles makers.
