This excerpt from Stephanie’s nomination shows the joy she brings to the workplace, setting a wonderful example for her coworkers and helping patients feel at home:

“Stephanie brings positivity not only to ENT, but to the entire Boyer 6 floor. She takes pride in her work ethic and responsibilities, consistently showing compassion for her patients and coworkers. In addition to her daily duties, she goes above and beyond by organizing celebrations for birthdays, holidays, and milestones, and decorates the floor year-round—often using her own money—to create a warm, welcoming environment that feels more like home than a doctor’s office.”

Her commitment to the success of our team and the wellbeing of our patients is unwavering, and it is truly an honor to work alongside someone so kind, driven, and uplifting. She is an outstanding candidate for this award—not just for a month, but overall.”
