At Renown Health, we live by a core set of values. We are caring and compassionate. We demonstrate respect and integrity. We build relationships and collaborate with patients, families, clinicians and communities. We strive for excellence in all we do.
Those values extend beyond patient care to the way we support our employees. We have worked hard to create an environment that empowers each person to learn, grow and thrive.
Here are just a few examples of the ways we do that:
Establishing a mentorship and leadership development program that provides insight, expertise and learning opportunities.
Forming employee committees that improve health and well-being both at work and in our community that complement Renown’s work-life balance programs.
Recognizing and rewarding team members for living our values.
Providing paid time each quarter to support employee volunteerism and giving back to our community.
Offering a variety of education programs, including tuition reimbursement, student loan repayment and a professional advancement bonus program, to help employees achieve their higher education goals.
Hosting the largest Graduate Nurse Residency program in the state, which is also one of the largest in the nation.
We strive to inspire, educate and help nurses shine, and in return, we know they will make a positive impact on the lives of their coworkers and the people we serve.
Nursing at Renown Health
Nurses at Renown Health demonstrate a commitment to patients and their families through integration of care, clinical expertise, education, evidence-based practice and the pursuit of quality patient outcomes.
Caring for Rural Communities, One Patient at a Time: Q&A With a Senior Medical Assistant
For patients in Fallon, Silver Springs and the surrounding rural northern Nevada communities, access to quality healthcare is a top priority. Some drive over two hours just to see a primary care provider or walk into an urgent care clinic. Practice Site Leader Erin (formerly a Sr. Medical Assistant for Renown Medical Group – Fernley) is one of the dedicated team members ensuring those patients feel seen, heard and cared for the moment they walk through the door.
What started as an externship close to home has grown into a fulfilling career marked by mentorship, professional growth and a deep passion for patient care. We sat down with Erin to learn more about her journey.
When a patient is experiencing unexplained seizures, nerve pain or neurological symptoms that don't have a clear cause, finding answers often begins with one critical step: a diagnostic study performed by a skilled neurodiagnostic technician. At Renown Health, the Electrodiagnosis (or Neurodiagnostics) department provides these essential services every day.
Think of our Electrodiagnosis team as your brain puzzle masters. Their impact spans both inpatient and outpatient settings, serving patients of all ages who are living with epilepsy, a traumatic brain injury, neuropathy, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) and more. While their work may look like "squiggly lines" on a screen, the insights they capture are anything but simple.
At Renown’s Crisis Care Center, Peer Support Specialists help patients through some of the hardest moments of their lives with compassion, practical support and a steady presence. We sat down with Valerie Butler, a Peer Support Specialist at the Crisis Care Center, to talk about what brought her to this work, what a typical shift looks like and why crisis care is such a critical resource for our community.
