Compassion extends to the people working beside us. 🌻

Congratulations to Ashley Gearlds of our Central Monitoring Unit (CMU) and Telemetry team, our newest Sunflower Award recipient!

When Ashley recognized a co-worker was experiencing a blood sugar crisis, she acted without hesitation, bringing him juice and a snack. Her nomination highlighted her awareness, kindness and empathy toward her teammate.

The Sunflower Award recognizes healthcare professionals who go above and beyond in providing compassionate, patient-centered care. Thank you, Ashley, for bringing that same care to those working beside you.

A familiar smile. A moment of laughter. Someone who takes the time to check in. 🌼

For one patient receiving cancer treatment, these moments with Nicole Horton, RN, made difficult days feel a little less frightening.

Congratulations to Nicole of our Cancer Infusion Center, our newest DAISY Award honoree! Nominated by a patient’s son, who is also a nurse, Nicole was recognized for her compassion, encouragement and ability to help his mother feel seen and supported, even when she was not her assigned nurse.

“Nicole has reminded me of the kind of nurse I hope to be for my own patients,” he shared.

The DAISY Award honors nurses for the extraordinary compassion and clinical care they provide to patients and families. Thank you, Nicole, for the difference you make. Learn more about Nicole's award here: https://blog.carsontahoe.com/nicole-horton-the-daisy-award/

What makes you love your job?

For one Carson Tahoe Health team member, it’s the patients they serve, the coworkers who share their passion, and leaders who listen when someone has an idea for better care. They shared that perspective in our 2026 workplace survey.

For a child in the Emergency Department, waiting and wondering what will happen next can be one of the hardest parts. A Tommy Moose gives them something soft to hold while our team talks them through what to expect.

Thank you to Carson City Moose Lodge #2709 for donating more Tommy Moose plush toys today and helping us care for our youngest patients. 💙

He cleans up well, but it’s what Hiro does between tuxedo appearances that makes us proud. 🐾

A visit from Hiro can make a hospital day feel a little less overwhelming for patients, families, and team members. Thank you to the Nevada Hospital Association for recognizing him with a Volunteer of the Year Honorable Mention, and to his handler, Scott Mattes, for making those visits possible. 💙

At this year's awards ceremony, the NHA had a very special Honorable Mention: Hiro the Therapy Dog. We couldn't help but fall in love with Hiro and his amazing ability to calm stressful situations and bring smiles to everyone in his path (we also couldn't get over Hiro's amazing tux!). Congratulations Hiro and special thanks to his handler, Scott Mattes. Carson Tahoe Health

Care close to home. Connections that make a difference.

Our affiliation with Huntsman Cancer Institute connects Carson Tahoe’s cancer care team with additional expertise, resources and opportunities to collaborate, supporting personalized care right here in our community.

We’re proud to be part of this network, helping patients stay connected to the people and places that mean the most throughout their cancer journey.

We recently welcomed teams from our affiliate hospitals for our annual symposium—an opportunity to learn more about the meaningful ways they care for patients and families in their communities.

The gathering created space for teams to connect, share perspectives, and brainstorm around common challenges and opportunities. We were also grateful for the chance to share updates on advances in cancer research and care, while learning from the experience, knowledge, and dedication each affiliate team brings to the people they serve.

For many people facing cancer, receiving care closer to home means being able to lean on family, friends, and the familiar comforts of their community. Our affiliate hospitals help make this possible by extending comprehensive cancer care throughout the Mountain West.

Together, we serve communities across five states and 17% of the United States land mass, extending our reach while helping patients stay connected to the people and places that support them most. We are thankful for every affiliate hospital team and their commitment to compassionate, exceptional care.
