Congratulations to Naria Stephens, Social Worker for St. Dominic Medical Associates, who was named the most recent FMOL Health | St. Dominic Franciscan Service Award recipient. The Franciscan Service Award is the highest honor a team member can receive across our health system for those who go above and beyond to exemplify the values of our organization and to extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ.
Naria’s colleagues say she approaches her role of social worker as a calling. Her dedication to the well-being of others and her ability to bring a sense of peace and reassurance to families during difficult times reflect the spirit of our mission.
“When Naria walks into the clinic, you feel it,” the nomination said. “She brings joy and positivity that lifts the whole team. Naria’s impact is felt across clinics and communities. Naria helped a patient in a difficult marriage find a new home and start a new chapter in life. That patient is now thriving – all because Naria cared enough to go beyond the referral and walk alongside her through the process. This level of compassion and persistence inspires all of us to live our values more fully. Naria doesn’t just connect patients to resources – she changes lives.”
Join us in thanking Naria for her commitment to helping others. We’re proud to have her on our team!
