Kayla Cox, a registered nurse with nearly a decade of dedicated service at Valley Health’s Winchester Medical Center, was unjustly terminated in 2021 for standing by her sincerely held religious beliefs. Despite Valley Health granting religious exemptions to other employees, Kayla’s request for an accommodation was denied. Her firing not only violated her rights under the Virginia Human Rights Act but also set a dangerous precedent for religious discrimination in the workplace.

Now, Kayla is fighting back, and she needs your support.

Kayla’s story is one of courage and conviction. She faithfully served her patients and earned the respect of her colleagues. When faced with Valley Health’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, she turned to her faith, seeking guidance in prayer and Scripture. She explained her stance thoughtfully and even provided a letter of support from her pastor.

Despite her heartfelt plea, Valley Health dismissed her beliefs and denied her the same accommodations it granted to others. Kayla’s termination was more than a personal injustice—it was a violation of her rights as a Christian and a professional.

Kayla has filed a lawsuit against Valley Health, asserting that its actions were discriminatory and unlawful. Her case seeks to:

• Hold Valley Health accountable for religious discrimination
• Defend the rights of workers to practice their faith without fear of losing their livelihoods
• Secure compensation for the emotional and financial harm she has endured

This case is not just about Kayla—it’s about setting a precedent that protects everyone’s right to religious freedom.
