Congratulations to Health Information Management Manager, Bea, who recently received our 2025 Catherine McAuley Service Award — the highest honor bestowed by Mercy!
This annual award recognizes an employee who exemplifies the spirit and ministry of Catherine McAuley, the first Sister of Mercy, through tireless service to others and a commitment to care and compassion.
"In a world that often prioritizes self-interest, Bea stands out as a beacon of altruism, tirelessly working to uplift those in need through hands-on initiatives that address hunger and chronic illness in our community," her nominator wrote. "Over the past several years, Bea has channeled her passion for helping others into tangible action, organizing and leading food drives that have directly supported vital local programs combating food insecurity ... Bea asks for nothing in return, no accolades, or a simply thank you. Instead, Bea views this service as a calling, often working behind the scenes to ensure others shine."
Congratulations, Bea! Thank you for being you!
Bea’s name will be added to the Catherine McAuley Service Award plaque, joining past honorees. She will also receive a reserved parking space for one year and a monetary award. This year, 71 Mercy employees were nominated for this prestigious recognition.
