Mission Hospital Foundation Honors Lisa Dale

Lisa Dale has been a devoted member of the Mission Hospital family for more than 20 years. To recognize the many lives that Lisa has touched over the years and her extensive impact on the hospital, Mission Hospital Foundation is honoring Lisa with the Sister Martha Ann Fitzpatrick Vision Award.

The Vision Award is named for Sister Martha Ann Fitzpatrick, vice president, advocacy and ministry formation at Mission Hospital. This prestigious award celebrates an individual or group for living the core values of Mission Hospital (Dignity, Service, Excellence and Justice) and working to bring people together to foster a shared responsibility for the quality of life in our community.

“Lisa truly embraces the heritage of the Sisters of St. Joseph, genuinely living our mission to extend the healing ministry of Jesus and in so many ways, helping to improve the health and quality of life in our community,” shares Sister Martha Ann Fitzpatrick.

A brilliant business woman and chief executive officer of Seabreeze Management, Lisa serves as a warm and compassionate community ambassador. She regularly draws community members from across the region into our hospital family to enable us to further extend the healing ministry of Jesus.

Lisa served as one of the first Foundation Board Members and created the foundation’s incredibly successful Holiday Gala. Over the last 19 years the Holiday Gala has raised millions of dollars to enable the hospital to support the community’s greatest needs.

Today, Lisa shares her inspiring leadership skills serving as the chair of Valiant Women, a Mission Hospital fundraising support group devoted to meeting the medical, educational, emotional and spiritual needs of women in our community.

A member of the foundation’s Philanthropist Circle, Lisa graciously supports the hospital and encourages her friends, family and colleagues to do the same.

Through Valiant Women, Lisa played a significant role in the hospital’s recent acquisition of breast tomosynthesis 3D mammography. This incredible technology provides a clearer, more accurate view of the breast and allows doctors to more effectively pinpoint the size, shape and location of any abnormalities. The result is better detection, increased accuracy and greater peace of mind for our patients.

Mission Hospital Foundation will officially present Lisa with the Sister Martha Ann Fitzpatrick Vision Award and celebrate her Spirit of Giving at the Philanthropy Circle Dinner in April.
