Growing up, Stefanie was always the twin who went first. Whether it was the waterslide or a haircut, she went first to show Samantha there was nothing to fear.

Years later, when Samantha was diagnosed with breast cancer, their roles reversed. This time, Samantha went first.

Early detection, a cancer prevention program and a care team at Ascension NE Wisconsin - St. Elizabeth Campus that they trusted helped Samantha face her diagnosis and gave Stefanie important information about her own risk.

It makes a remarkable difference to patients and in patient outcomes when doctors truly listen and truly care. 💙✨Today, we’re excited to recognize Behavioral Health Psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Rowell of Ascension NE Wisconsin - St. Elizabeth Campus as a Guardian Angel for his exemplary, compassionate care.💙✨

In recognition of Dr. Rowell, a grateful patient shared:

“Dr. Thomas Rowell always listens to me and tries his best to help me. I have had the honor of being his patient for a long time. If Dr. Rowell can't find a medicine, he doesn't give up even though my situation is not an easy one. I hope Dr. Rowell has no desire to leave Ascension because I don't know what I would do without his care. Dr. Rowell goes above and beyond his job duties because he cares about my overall health.”

💙✨We invite you to join us in recognizing Dr. Rowell!💙✨
