Jill has worked at Huntsman for several years in various clinic capacities. Most recently, she took the Neuro oncology position with Dr. C, a new physician to the University. Jill demonstrates excellent leadership and clinical skills.

...Jill received a frantic phone call from the patient's husband. The patient was scheduled for an MRI at the Red Butte facility and while waiting for the exam was incontinent. The husband asked staff at Red Butte for assistance and was told they did not or could not help, and directed him to the restroom to help her himself.

Jill called Red Butte Staff and after meeting resistance herself, did not hesitate, drove to Red Butte and assisted the patient. This all occurred during a very busy clinic day for Jill. This is one of many examples of Jill's exemplary service to patients.
