Sister Stephanie arrived in Ogden by train way back, August 15, 1965 and was brought to the St Benedicts hospital on the hill, 3000 Polk Avenue. She was asked to be Director of the Dietary Department. At the time she believed that preparing and serving good meals was at the heart of hospitality. After having served in many other roles through her 48 years among the people at the hospital now called Ogden Regional Medical Center, she believes the overall ministry was bringing the peace of love of Christ to everyone. Dr. Floyd Seager was passionate about reaching out to the underserved. The clinic operated about for a year before ORMC was asked to co-sponsor it with McKay-Dee Hospital. That is when Sister Stephanie became involved and a member of the Board, one of the most rewarding experiences. Experiencing the dedication of the board members and creative ideas to improve services remains a constant to this day. It is a service she continues to prayer for daily. The impact of the clinic reached far and wide. Other communities started inquiring about a way to start up like volunteer clinics. She is so passionate about the clinic. She is proud to remain an Emeritus Board Member.
