Today, I had a wonderful surprise in the OR. Jazzmin King, a former patient joined us as a visiting X-ray technology student. I got to walk her through the same surgery she had a couple years ago. The opportunity to share the work that we do there with someone who has been through it as a patient really made my day! It was also great seeing her again.

We thank you for your commitment and celebrate your service.
