Statesville, NC — Iredell Health System is proud to announce Stacey Bedingfield, CDM, as Director of Food Service.

Pennsylvania, and her Certification in Dietary Management from the Orlando Technical Institute in Orlando, Florida. Her new role gives her the opportunity to showcase her skills in a community health system setting.
“I am excited to utilize my extensive experience in healthcare food service to make a difference in the lives of those we serve as an inspirational and influential leader for such an outstanding team,” said Bedingfield.
She chose Iredell Health for several reasons.
“Iredell Health has an excellent reputation for being a best in class, high performing health system. It has a wonderful close-knit team environment that’s close to my home, allowing me to make a positive impact in my community whether it be through caring for those individuals while they are in the hospital or through community outreach,” said Bedingfield.

Her daughter attends Lenoir-Rhyne University and is double majoring in music education and theater. Her son is attending East Tennessee University and majoring in Veterinary Medicine. They have three sweet dogs and one sassy cat, all of which are spoiled rotten. When she’s not cooking or baking, you find her attending concerts and festivals.
“I’m a foodie through and through,” said Bedingfield. “A concert or music festival with some awesome food is my happy place!”
