Great doctors and nurses are attracted to EIRMC because:  They can practice "big city" medicine in a small, friendly community. Everyone here is focused on doing what is best for the patient. That's a healthcare provider's dream come true!

I came back to Idaho because:  I missed everything about EIRMC -- the people, the culture, and the focus on excellent patient care.  As a professional, who I align myself with is very important.  I can't imagine that there is any better organization to be aligned with than EIRMC.

I became a nurse because:  I was always fascinated with hospitals and the amazing work that goes on inside of them. Something exciting, interesting, touching, or even miraculous is always happening in a hospital and nursing was my opportunity to be right in the middle of it.

What puts the heart in EIRMC's cardiology and critical care program is:  The staff. In all the cardiology and critical care areas, the people who take care of patients are what make EIRMC one of the best hospitals in the region. When people who work in a hospital truly care about what they do and how they do it, patients and families always benefit.

When the day is over, you'll usually find me:  At my piano.
