Nevada Regional Medical Center Galaxy Award for April 2021

Nevada Regional Medical Center Galaxy Award this month goes to Kayla Jones and her team of screeners and temperature-takers. Their job is so important in making sure that unnoticed COVID-19 cases do not accidently wander through our doors and put our patients and staff in harm’s way.

Countless hours are spent making sure that the doors are covered and that we have enough workers to screen everyone entering the building.

A big thank-you to all the people who have made this service so successful during the pandemic. (Pictured from the left are Haiden Overton, Amber Bozman, Kayla Jones and Tanya Wilson.)
