Congratulations to Dr. Steven Jarzembowski, who was recognized as our quarter 2 Northern Stars physician of the quarter at Northern Nevada Medical Center. Read what his nominator had to say about him: "Dr. Jarzembowski goes above and beyond for not only his patients but the staff in the ICU as well. When Dr. Jarzembowski is the attending intensivist for NNMC for two weeks, he always comes back and rounds on his patients and the nursing staff in the ICU after clinic. I have witnessed him countless times, sit down and speak with patient's families, and have those difficult conversations in a very kind manner. He always leaves staff and patients feeling supported." Thank you, Dr. Jarzembowski, for your support of our patients and staff.

Sierra Medical Center is pleased to recognize Sherry Hynes, MSN, BSN, who was recently promoted to ICU director. Sherry brings 19 years of nursing and leadership experience to the role. Sherry began working at Sierra Medical Center in 2022 as a bedside nurse and later moved into the roles of house supervisor and clinical supervisor. Sherry loves going to the ocean and spending time on the beach. Over the last year, she has taken up golf and loves learning a new sport. She enjoys watching football and roots for the Green Bay Packers, Go Pack Go!

This quarter, we recognized an honorary Northern Star! Logan Catmull is an ESI Security staff member who has become a treasured part of Northern Nevada Medical Center, and he was recently recognized for his contributions to our facility! "Logan helped us during a particularly unusual and difficult situation. His attention to detail, dedication to safety, and compassionate demeanor with patients saved the day. He was able to de-escalate and redirect a patient to safety. He is also a bright light to the staff who are with him daily. We appreciate Logan so much!" Congratulations, Logan, and thank you for all you do!
