From coworkers to lifelong friends!

What started as two new nurses meeting on Valley Hospital Las Vegas Med-Surg/Tele floor turned into a friendship built on trust, teamwork, and countless shared experiences. Through preceptorships, rapid responses, codes and career milestones, Jonathan and his best friend have been side by side every step of the way.

Now, as they begin an exciting new chapter together in the SICU, their story is a reminder that some of the strongest bonds are formed while caring for others. At Valley Hospital, they're proud to build more than careers; they're building friendships that last a lifetime.

👏 👏 Massive congratulations to our very own Dr. Matthew J. Swenson, MD, Associate Program Director of the Valley Health System General Surgery Residency Program, for being honored as a 2026 Vegas Top Doctor!

Dr. Swenson is featured in a special full-page "Beyond Medicine" spread in Health Care Magazine. Remarkably, he is the only physician recognized in the General Surgery category this year—a testament to his incredible skill, dedication, and leadership in training the next generation of surgeons.

Before guiding our residents, Dr. Swenson served as a military surgeon. Today, he brings that elite level of discipline and care back home to Las Vegas, personally motivating and building a culture of health and wellness among our young surgeons in the Valley Health System through initiatives like "Dr. Swenson's Fitness Challenge."

We are incredibly proud of Dr. Swenson and grateful that he is being recognized for his expertise in the high-quality surgical care we provide to our community every day.

Join us in celebrating Dr. Swenson’s outstanding achievement and his service to both our country and our future surgeons!
