Barbara Stegemann was an outstanding Free Clinic Volunteer early in the history of the clinic. Heartfelt and hard-working, passionate and compassionate, she dedicated years of service to the Free Clinic. She died before she was able to realize her dream of going to medical school. In her memory, her parents (who have recently passed away) created the Barbara Stegemann Annual Award to honor a dedicated pre-medical volunteer who embodies Barbara's qualities of comittment and service.
