  • Diane Gyton-Cooper says:

    Social Workers provide tremendous support to the healthcare team and patients’ families. Stacey goes above and beyond that expectation with each patient/healthcare interaction. Stacey’s compassion makes it easy for her to connect with patient’s family whether it is drafting letters or identifying the best places to park downtown or finding a place to eat or rest. Stacey’s compassion also extends to members of the healthcare team, especially the nursing team. Stacey checks in to ensure that the nurse is ok and addresses concerns identified. Stacey is certainly deserving of this honour.

  • Victoria Sweetman says:

    Congratulations on your nomination, Stacey. Best of luck.
