DR. Khosravi Earns Spirit Of Mercy Award

September 27, 2022

At a ceremony in August, Dr. Sasha Khosravi, Clive Behavioral Health’s Chief Medical Officer and Pediatric Psychiatrist, was awarded the MercyOne Spirit Award for psychiatry. The Spirit of Mercy Award recognizes staff members who exemplify the values of reverence, integrity, compassion, commitment to the poor, justice, stewardship and excellence in a manner consistent with the sacred tradition of the Sisters of Mercy. Spirit of Mercy award winners are recognized for the example they set by their inspiring leadership and loving commitment to those in need. This year’s ceremony recognized a combined group of honorees from the past few years when Covid prevented MercyOne from hosting the ceremony. Dr. Khosravi came to Clive Behavioral Health from MercyOne in 2020, but also maintains a role at MercyOne as founder and medical director of the MercyOne Psychiatry Residency Program.

We congratulate Dr. Khosravi for this much deserved recognition. Well deserved!
