Getting THPs from Point A to Point B has been Claire Boyles’ assignment since late January. And as she nears her 6-month mark later this month, the Jogan Health transportation specialist says she’s realizing how much she is learning.

About herself, about the Pacific Northwest – and about Jogan.

“Driving for a living is something I never thought I’d do, but I’m really enjoying it; and I’m really enjoying the daily interactions I have with nurses and with the people at the hotels where they are staying,” said Claire, who is from West Virginia, but is currently driving for Jogan Health’s operations in Oregon.

“It’s really been a learning experience and Jogan’s leadership has been great as I’ve grown into the driver role. The transportation team at Jogan headquarters have been very helpful. The whole thing is new to me, but I really am focused on helping Jogan accomplish its mission in Oregon.”

Claire, who spent time in the military, says getting to explore the scenic beauty of Bend, Eugene and other parts of Oregon is one of her favorite parts of the whole experience.

“It’s a completely new part of the United States for me and I love seeing it everyday, as I’m driving,” she says.

Like Claire, hundreds of Jogan’s employees – whether they’re legacy members or newcomers – believe in our mission to strengthen communities from the ground up. Contact us today for more information!

Amy Ables, Director of Case Investigation and Epidemiology Services

Amy, a BSN and RN, came to Jogan Health in 2021 as a travel nurse on a vaccine project in Colorado. She had been working and living in rural Kentucky.

“To say it was the best decision of my life is an understatement,” she says. “As a seasoned ER nurse and supervisor, I was limited on job selection to travel within my specialty. Jogan Health changed all that and gave me opportunity to grow within the company.”

Shortly after joining Jogan Health, Amy quickly advanced into a project management role at the corporate office, where she was part of the team that secured a grant to direct Covid-19 response efforts for Douglas County, Colorado. Amy credits her advancement to Jogan Health President and CEO Dan Dietrich, who believed in her leadership skills. 

“With strong support from our top leadership and our Business Development team, I am lucky enough to also be part of some amazing innovation here at Jogan Health,” she says. “This career has been life changing in so many ways. If you’re asking why Jogan? Remember my story.”

Brandon Freeman, Epidemiologist

Brandon was hired in December 2021 as Jogan Health’s Lead Epidemiologist on the Case Investigation and Epidemiology services project. His initial role was to lead the COVID-19 response in Douglas County, Colorado, a community both close to his home and his heart. 

“Moving from an epidemiologist position within the local government sector was a leap I was scared to take, but I can honestly say that I have zero regret,” Brandon says. “Jogan has cultivated an environment which encourages innovation and new ideas which has allowed me to better protect the health of the communities we serve. I was able to find myself on both project management and innovation teams where I am continuously challenged to learn and grow. I will forever be grateful to Jogan Health for giving me the liberty to not only better serve my own community, but also for empowering me to think so far outside of the box that people don’t know it even exists – an opportunity that has been lifechanging.”

A New Mexico hospital offered a public “Thank You” to Jogan Health for assistance it provided during a healthcare crisis that hit the region late last year. The San Juan Regional Medical Center (SJRMC) ordered emergency care standards in November 2021 as COVID case numbers climbed and its Intensive Care Unit had to be expanded. 

Emergency Care Standards: Explained

Crisis standards of care are described as “peer-reviewed guidelines that help health care providers and health care systems decide how to deliver the best care possible under the extraordinary circumstances of a disaster or public health emergency when there are not enough resources.”

The New Mexico Department of Health turned to Jogan Health to facilitate the deployment of caregivers who worked tirelessly to care for the community during the crisis. The emergency care standards of care declaration was rescinded at the end of February.

“We cannot thank these incredible caregivers and the lawmakers who helped us secure their help enough. They came without hesitation and joined in immediately, providing immense relief and hope for our frontline caregivers who have been working nonstop since the pandemic began,” Jeff Bourgeois, President and CEO of SJRMC, said. “More importantly, I want to thank and recognize the caregivers’ loyalty to San Juan Regional and the patients we serve in our community.” 

Throughout the standards of care declaration, SJRMC was able to support inpatient and outpatient care, as well as ancillary services for both COVID and non-COVID patients, thanks to the assistance it received, Bourgieois added.

Along with Jogan, the United States Department of Health and Human Services National Disaster Medical System deployed three separate Disaster Medical Assistance Teams (DMAT) and one critical care team to SJRMC to provide needed assistance and staffing. The United States Department of Defense, at the request of FEMA, sent two Navy Medical Response Teams to the hospital over the holidays to help caregivers during the surge. 

Jogan’s caregivers were welcomed warmly as they were integrated into SJRMC’s clinical care model, according to Jogan President Dan Dietrich. 

“It says a lot about the healthcare professionals we work with to staff hospitals and healthcare facilities around the country,” Dietrich said. “Throughout the pandemic, our people have stepped in a done what it takes to help care for communities in need.”
