MONROE — Highland Women’s Care Sonographer Stacy Cassell has received Monroe Clinic’s BEE Award. Stacy has been a member of the Monroe Clinic team for 17 years.

Stacy was nominated by Highland Women’s Care staff members, Paige Rainwater and Callie Plager. 

“Sonographers are with our patients when they are finding out life changing news, whether good or bad, so it takes a very special person. I remember different occasions when patients came in for an ultrasound feeling nervous. Every time, Stacy was there with comforting words to put them at ease before the ultrasound even started. If the answers they found were not idea, she offered a hand to hold and prayed with the patient. If there’s good news to celebrate, Stacy is the first to rejoice with the patient. No matter the circumstance, Stacy strives to be uplifting for every patient,” said Rainwater in her nomination. 

“Stacy goes above and beyond in everything that she does,” said Plager. “She creates lasting relationships with her patients. Stacy is not only there for them medically, but also as a support person. We hear frequently from patients how loved she is.” 

The BEE Award was created to recognize any non-nursing staff member who demonstrates excellent quality care, extraordinary compassion, focus on the patient and the patient’s needs and effective collaboration with other members on the patient-care team.

Monroe Clinic asks the community to help spotlight the extraordinary contributions of our staff, like Cassell, by nominating them for the BEE Award. Nomination forms are available at Monroe Clinic greeter’s desks and online at www.monroeclinic.org/beeaward.
