St. Dominic Health

Congratulations to Mingo Thames, Graphic Designer, who was named the most recent FMOL Health | St. Dominic Franciscan Service Award recipient. The Franciscan Service Award is the highest honor a team member can receive across our health system for those who go above and beyond to exemplify the values of our organization and to extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ.

For more than 15 years, Mingo has brought exceptional talent, humility, and heart to his work. He understands that in a mission centered healthcare ministry, design is not simply decoration — it is an expression of dignity, clarity, and love. Angelia Sona, Provider Network Coordinator and former MarComm team member, shared, “Mingo demonstrates a true passion for our ministry’s mission and for the importance of caring for the whole person. He is the quiet heart of our team.”

A gifted and thoughtful designer, Mingo elevates every project he touches, including the beautiful historical mural he created on the hospital’s lower level. MarComm Strategist Trevis Badeaux describes him as someone who brings positivity and a can-do spirit to every challenge: “He is the soothing, calming voice of wisdom in many conversations… a moral and professional compass who helps everyone find the most effective, compassionate way forward.”

Mingo’s commitment to service extends well beyond our walls. Through his church, he helped expand a soup kitchen ministry to reach elderly and underserved neighbors in rural communities. As a devoted father, he took advantage of the opportunity to teach his children the art and joy of service, having them join him on the soup kitchen serving lines.

Please join us in thanking Mingo for his extraordinary dedication and compassion. We are grateful to have him as part of our ministry family.
