Volunteer of the Year Award

Auxiliary Names Tracey Stephenson at the 2024 Bethesda Outstanding Volunteer of the Year

The Bethesda Auxiliary has named Tracey Stephenson as the Betty J. Turner Outstanding Volunteer of the Year.

Tracey has volunteered at Bethesda North since 2018 and has logged over 2100 volunteer hours. Tracey was nominated for this award by the Mom and Baby unit at Bethesda North where she prepares over 400 patient folders each month and tracks supplies making sure the unit is full stocked at all times. Her nominator, Stacy May, says that Tracey “hasn’t missed a beat” with the increased number of babies being born at Bethesda, and the team does not know what they would do without Tracey.

Hospital team members were invited to submit nominations for the Volunteer of the Year. Tracey was nominated for this award along with 10 other volunteers:

- Devon Phillips, Bethesda North Guest Services Way Finding

- Sylvia Mabry, TriHealth Pavilion

- Tricia Kennedy, Bethesda North Emergency Department

- Anne Hodapp, Bethesda North Volunteer Services Pet Therapy

- Joseph Bischoff, Bethesda North Endo Patient Transport

- Sally Scherr, Bethesda North Guest Services Lobby Greeter

- Joann Hull, TriHealth Cancer Institute Kenwood Infusion Center

- Donald Pasqualetti, Bethesda North Logistics Fall Packet Preparer

- Ann Matvey and Darlene Sipos, a mother and daughter team of Bethesda North Pastoral Care Communion Distributors

All nominees were recognized at the Auxiliary’s Fall luncheon and presented with flowers and a professional portrait. For her award, Tracey received a gift card to the Joseph Beth Gift Shop and her name is now on the Volunteer Award plaque that is visible outside the Creekside Café. This plaque lists every Volunteer of the Year since the award’s inception in 1995.
