San Juan Regional Health

San Juan Regional Medical Center met with representatives from several local, regional and statewide organizations Monday to express gratitude for all we’ve accomplished together through our valued partnerships during the pandemic.

The strength of our relationships with our many partners at the local, regional and statewide level helped to ensure that our friends, family and neighbors were cared for and supported over the past two years. Through all the challenges COVID-19 brought, we worked together to tackle them head on, utilizing our collective strengths and expertise to help our entire community go from one of the hardest-hit areas early on to a region experiencing a dramatic decline in cases, with fewer than 10 COVID patients hospitalized right now and a 7-day rolling average of under 2.5 percent.

“We could not have made it through as well as we did without an immense amount of community support. From children who made gifts for our caregivers, all the way to the state and federal level with our legislative support and a world of things in between. Volunteers making PPE for us, all types of food donated to the organization, it’s been an incredible journey,” said SJRMC President and CEO Jeff Bourgeois. 

Bourgeois, along with Incident Commanders Dr. Brad Greenberg (Medical Director of Emergency Preparedness) and Ruth Brooks (Vice President of Accreditation, Professional, and Support Services) shared their sincere and heartfelt thanks for the support shown to the hospital with a certificate and commemorative coin.
