Congratulations to Sonya Fredrick, Dental Clinic, who recently received the IMPACT Award!

"I had the opportunity to observe Sonya caring for a special needs child in our dental clinic—an experience that truly exemplifies her compassion, professionalism, and commitment to patient-centered care. The child was visibly anxious and uncooperative, but rather than rushing or forcing the situation, Sonya met the child exactly where he was, speaking to him in a soft, calming voice and patiently working to earn his trust while thoughtfully involving his mother throughout the process. Because of Sonya’s patience, empathy, and unwavering focus on the child’s emotional well-being, she was able to safely and effectively provide the care he needed, creating a moment of trust and dignity for a child and peace of mind for a parent, leaving a lasting positive impression on both the family and the clinic as a whole."

Congrats, Sonya!
