MASON CITY – A woman fired from her job as a social worker in Mason City who was guilty of a drunk driving hit and run incident two years ago and then later accused of a sexual relationship with a client has lost her social work license.
Lisa Ann Bailey stands accused of taking a relationship with a client too far. She sent text messages and phone calls and then eventually slept with the client, a state report disclosed. Bailey claims that her judgement was impaired due to medication she was taking, and her boss sent her home from work on multiple occasions because she was too emotionally distraught to work. The Iowa Board of Social work has charged Bailey with practicing social work in a professional relationship while experiencing a mental or physical impairment that adversely affects the ability of the licensee to perform professional duties in a competent and safe manner.
Bailey was fired from her job. A web search shows that Bailey worked at the Mental Health Center of North Iowa Incorporated at 235 South Eisenhower Avenue. A disciplinary contested case hearing was held on November 10, 2014 before the Board in Des Moines. She was ordered to surrender her social worker license and she may not request reinstatement for at least three years.
