Recipe (makes 3 servings — 1 package tofu):
1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed
1 tbsp olive oil

½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
1 tsp soy sauce or tamari
Salt + pepper to taste

How to make it:

2️⃣ After work, unwrap and shred using a box grater.
3️⃣ Sauté onions in olive oil until soft and golden.
4️⃣ Add shredded tofu and cook until edges start to brown.
5️⃣ Stir in seasonings + tomato paste and cook another 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and flavorful."

Some of the foundation’s signature programs include the annual walkathon to benefit the Connelly Hospitality House, the annual side x side raffle to benefit the Riley Men’s Health Fund, and the annual women’s cancer awareness luncheon and style show to benefit the Cathy Lincoln Memorial.

Our SJRMC veterans span our senior leadership team to our physicians, clinical staff to support staff. While their roles may vary, they all share selfless service and a love for our country. We are forever grateful.

On this Veterans Day, San Juan Regional Medical Center’s caregivers are proud to display this U.S. flag that was flown in an F-15E Strike Eagle on a combat sortie over Syria and Iraq in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. This flag was sent to us by Captain David Allen Noakes, a native New Mexican and part-time physician in our Emergency Department who is currently deployed to the middle east. He joined the United States Air Force in 2016 and serves as a flight surgeon with the 391st fighter squadron. Captain Noakes’ grandfathers both served in the U.S. Army, and he wanted this flag dedicated to SJRMC to express his gratitude for the hospital’s efforts to employ and care for U.S. Veterans. We thank Captain Noakes, and all our incredible active-duty military members and veterans, for their brave and selfless service.

San Juan Regional Medical Center is proud to recognize our newest recipients of the DAISY® Award. The DAISY® Award is a prestigious international recognition program celebrating nurses for the skillful and compassionate care they provide patients every day.

​Sara Barry is a nurse on our Childbirth Unit. She was nominated by not one, but two new moms who immediately felt comforted by Sara’s presence during their deliveries. Both noted that Sara made their experiences less stressful by sharing her knowledge, providing support to them as well as their spouses, and offering reassurances and encouragement during times of uncertainty. ​

​Laurel Martin is a nurse with the wound care team. She was nominated by a patient who had been injured in an accident and needed regular wound care. Laurel advocated for the patient to stay in the hospital instead of being moved to a nursing home, because the patient needed specialized wound care that they would not be able to receive at another facility.
