What Is a Mitzvah?
In Hebrew, the word “mitzvah” signifies a good deed, an act of kindness that uplifts others. We proudly highlight our Mitzvah winner, Steven Lessord, LPN. His dedication and commitment truly embody the spirit of the term. Steven is a key member of our Old Dominion team, and his journey has been truly inspiring.

A Remarkable Impact
Steven joined Old Dominion in March 2023 and quickly made a remarkable impact. His role as a nurse involves not just technical skills but a deep sense of empathy and commitment. Full-time nursing is demanding, yet Steven manages to excel in his duties while pursuing further education in nursing school. Balancing work with study is no small feat, but Steven handles both with grace and dedication.
Adored by Residents and Families
His commitment to his patients and colleagues is evident in the way he interacts with everyone around him. Residents and their families hold Steven in high regard, and his compassionate approach to care has not gone unnoticed. The admiration from those he serves is a testament to his exceptional abilities and genuine concern for others.
Looking to the Future
Steven’s dedication doesn’t end with his current role. Steven’s goal to become a Registered Nurse (RN) shows his commitment to expanding his skills and making a greater impact in our community. We’re excited that he plans to stay with Old Dominion after completing his RN program, reflecting his dedication to our mission and the relationships he’s built here.
Honoring Exceptional Dedication
In recognizing Steven as our Mitzvah winner, we honor not just his professional achievements but also his unwavering commitment to doing good. His story is a shining example of how dedication, hard work, and compassion come together to make a profound difference in the lives of others.
