April 12, 2024 — AdventHealth Manchester is proud to announce that Dave Owens, a distinguished member of our Radiology Department, has been awarded the Sunflower Award for the first quarter of 2024.

The Sunflower Award is a highly respected recognition within the AdventHealth Manchester community, celebrating individuals who go above and beyond in their service to patients and colleagues alike. Dave Owens has consistently demonstrated these qualities, earning the admiration and respect of his peers.

The award ceremony took place on April 11, 2024, where colleagues and members of the AdventHealth leadership team gathered to honor Owens' achievements. Owens was also recognized for a recent act of compassion in the hospital cafeteria.

This gesture, emblematic of the service and kindness that the Sunflower Award celebrates, was met with a heartfelt smile and gratitude from the girl.
