EMPLOYEES SHARE THEIR WHY

“Working at Methodist Hospital has given me a new outlook on my profession and has given me more drive to do what I love doing - helping people. Methodist Healthcare has also given me the tools to earn my compounding certification! Being able to see the medications I’m making for our patients drives me to do and be better every day at work. I honestly love coming to work knowing I am going to help someone.”

- Jacqueline Sanchez, Pharmacy Tech II at Methodist Hospital

“My why for being a HIM professional is to make sure our patients receive the same exceptional care after discharge as they do when in our hospital. My best days in the hospital are interacting with patients and family members knowing we were able to be the bridge between the hospital and the next step in their care. Our patients trust our team with their most sensitive information and as a HIM professional I want to make sure their health story is accurate, complete, accessible and protected.”

- Shelia Cochran, Director of HIM at Methodist Hospital | Stone Oak

“In my freshman year, I switched my major from biochemistry to nursing. At the time, I was working at a restaurant, and a group of Methodist nurses came in. They told my coworker great things about Methodist, so I decided to apply to start learning about my future career. I love what I do because I can make someone feel cared for and make them laugh while they are going through a hard time. I love Metro because the leaders and staff are really nice! I love the location and caring for our center city community. I am so happy to have found Metro!”

- Samantha Ojeda, Post-Partum PCT at Methodist Hospital | Metropolitan

“Growing up, my grandmother and aunt set really great examples of capable and strong women. They were both nurses and really enjoyed the work they did. This example pushed me to become a nurse and helped me to find my calling in healthcare. I chose the ED because of the challenge it presents. There is an urgency and expediency to the nature of care that’s provided in the ED, and I found that the environment really utilizes my talents and strengths. It’s helped me hone my abilities and push myself to be a better nurse.”

- Jenel Mendoza, RN, Emergency Services at Methodist Hospital
