Congratulations to Virginia Hoyle, Executive Director of the Caldwell Memorial Hospital Foundation, recipient of the 2025 Meredith Cline Live Fierce Award. David Lowry, CEO of UNC Health Caldwell presented the award at the annual Catawba Valley Heart Ball. Virginia has served the Caldwell County community for over a decade by raising funds that support the addition of technology and services at Caldwell Memorial Hospital.
Lowry said, “Virginia is a fierce person! Soon after arriving to work, Virginia suffered a sudden and unexpected cardiopulmonary arrest in her office. Through God’s grace, the prayers of hundreds of friends, the hands of tremendously talented doctors, nurses and health professionals, Virginia battled her way through her hospitalization and recovery. She had reason to fight back to health so that she could enjoy her beautiful and beloved grandchildren and devoted family. Virginia returned home, engaged in a cardiac rehabilitation program and within 2 months, she returned to her life’s work…raising money for the health and well-being of our community.”
