Dr. Kuuskvere is one of our remarkable ER physicians. During a recent shift at ER at Spanish Springs, he jumped right in to ensure the team was able to seamlessly manage a busy load of patients - all while focusing on safe patient care. A patient recently shared, "I had a fantastic experience at the ER at Spanish Springs when I came in for medical attention for a large laceration on my leg. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care shown by the entire staff.

The front receptionist was welcoming and helpful, which immediately put me at ease. I want to specifically recognize Darius, Leanne, Jon, Anna, and Dr. Kuuskvere. Each of them was attentive, knowledgeable and compassionate, making what could have been a stressful situation feel manageable and well cared for. They took the time to explain everything clearly and treated me with respect throughout the entire visit. This team is truly top-notch and represents the highest level of professionalism. I’m very grateful for the care I received and would not hesitate to recommend the ER at Spanish Springs to anyone in need of emergency medical care."

Thank you, Dr. K for always being willing to step up and go above the expected!

In a busy ER, the work day is never predictable and admitting staff are often the first line of employees to support patients as they enter the ER. John, who works at ER at Spanish Springs, embodies teamwork and dedication. He is reliable and often seen rounding the emergency department to ensure patients and his colleagues are well taken care of every shift. John was recognized as a Northern Star.

"John continuously goes above and beyond his duties here at SSFED. First and foremost, he always brings so much love and positivity to the team. He never fails to provide plenty of laughs and brings so much joy-even on the most chaotic of days. He is always ready to jump in and help whenever we need in any capacity he is able. He is always two steps ahead of us- putting leads on the EKG machine for us when he hears a chest pain paged, prepping our glucometer and alert media to be ready for any stroke-like symptoms, and always checking in on what he can do for us... he is always offering a hand wherever it is needed. We cannot express enough how truly lucky we are to work alongside John. He is always so positive, such a hard worker, and truly goes above and beyond every single day. We are so lucky to have John on our team, and he deserves to be celebrated!"

Thank you, John, for being a team player!
