We are thrilled to welcome Jen Ellis as the new Chief Nursing Office at Santa Fe Medical Center!

Jen brings a world of experience—and a deep love for community—to her new leadership role with us. She's been with Presbyterian over 30 years working in emergency, PACU, transplant and infusion services. She even worked as a flight Nurse with Presbyterian Air Ambulance and was a travel nurse for several years.

When the opportunity to join Presbyterian Santa Fe Medical Center as its Chief Nurse Executive came up, she knew she was more than prepared, given her knowledge and wide range of experience across the Presbyterian system. She’s also excited to work in Santa Fe.

“There’s something special about the way this hospital connects with the Santa Fe community,” she said. “And, we’re at a pivotal growth point to take things to the next level. That’s really exciting to me.”

When she’s not working, you’ll find Jen with her family, hiking or scuba diving—she’s logged over 100 dives in places like Hawaii, Greece and Belize. Her last dive took her to Australia.

Congratulations to Josina Martinez, one of our star volunteers at Santa Fe Medical Center! Josina has been a volunteer at the medical center since we opened our doors in October 2018. She started working at the information desk and then added hours to work in the gift shop. She recently hit the 2000-volunteer hour mark which is an amazing commitment to Presbyterian, and we are so grateful for the gift of her time.

When asked what the best part of her job was and what she would tell someone interested in volunteering with us, Josina said "I have met so many wonderful people at Santa Fe Medical Center, and have made some very dear friends. I have volunteered for many organizations and events, but Santa Fe Medical Center is the absolute best!"

Want to learn more about becoming a volunteer with us? Visit us online at phs.org/community/volunteer or email our volunteer coordinator, Christine D'Antico, at cdantico@phs.org. We'd love to have you join us!

A rainy day won’t keep fresh veggies away! 🥕🥦 Despite occasional showers, many local farmers brought fresh produce, bread, vegetables, and flowers to sell at the opening day of the Del Sur Santa Fe Farmers’ Market.

The Del Sur market takes place Tuesday afternoon from 3 - 6 p.m. in the parking lot of Santa Fe Medical Center. It will be open to all every week through September and is an excellent opportunity for people on the south end of town to load up on fresh, nutritious food from local farmers.

“This is a very produce-driven market, what you’ll find here is often picked in the morning before we come here. It’s very community-oriented and a great way to support local farmers. Come see us!” -Jennifer Fresquez, Monte Vista Farm and chair of Santa Fe Farmers' Market.
