Monthly feature: Carol Sweeney 2023 Mission Legacy Award winner
Mid November we celebrated the 2023 Mission Legacy Award ceremony at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton. The Mission Legacy Award recognizes key individuals and departments / teams who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to contribute to the legacy and mission of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Hamilton, St. Joseph's Health System, St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton and its Foundation.
Each month we will feature a few of the award recipients to share a bit more about how they have made meaningful contributions throughout their time with our health care organization.
This month we feature Carol Sweeney.
Carol Sweeney truly embodies the Mission and Values of our founding Sisters. As a Senior Social Worker, her warmth, approach and commitment to patients and their families epitomizes the principles of her profession. During her tenure at St. Joe’s, Carol has worked on the frontline and as a discharge specialist. In all capacities, Carol is an ally for our patients, as well as her colleagues, and is most worthy of this honour.
In 2023, the following groups / individuals were awarded:
Andrea Kinar, Carol Sweeney, Dr. Casey Wang, Dr. John Bienenstock (posthumous), Dr. Scott McCullagh, Forensic Psychiatry Program Managers, Jackie Jewell, Marnie Buchanan, Perioperative Executive Committee, Teresa Cascioli and Terri Schnurr (posthumous).
A sincere thank you to each of the past and present award recipients, their hard work and dedication to our organization and the patients we serve is truly appreciated by our staff, patients and families.
