Denice Stephenson, Licensed Practical Nurse, has served 40 years with Virginia Gay Hospital. Denice has been highlighted in this year's Tree of Lights Annual Campaign booklet.
Early in high school, Denice obtained her C.N.A. certification through the hospital and began working in the Annex (now known as Virginia Gay Nursing & Rehab). Once she finished high school, Denice worked weekends and holidays while continuing her education at Hawkeye Community College receiving her degree as a LPN.

Denice has worked with Dr. Sherman Anthony, Dr. D. C. Weideman and Dr. Fry, as well as Marian Fuehrer, and George Garwood who were also honored.
Quality of Care comes from those who serve with compassion and this grace of service is exemplified through Denice Stephenson's truly remarkable commitment of service. It is with gratitude and honor that Denice Stephenson was named to the first class of Legacy Honors.
