The award recognizes recipients for humanitarian contributions that make a profound impact on their communities. Dean credited Sr. Carol for her commitment to expanding health care access for all people and for her pursuit of improved health outcomes that "should serve as an inspiration to anyone in the health care field," according to a news release.
