There are few sweeter sounds in life! Congratulations to Russell Roberts on ringing the bell at Memorial Radiation Oncology after completing six weeks of treatment for prostate cancer. Ring out loudly – here’s to hope and healing!

Bells are rung for many reasons, but for a patient who has been on a long and arduous journey fighting cancer, it means quite a bit more. This very meaningful tradition celebrates courage, resilience and the journey toward healing.

Today we are saying goodbye to John Garmong, who leaves behind a three-decade legacy of incredible service and dedication here at Memorial.

While we are saddened to see him leave MMC, we are also deeply grateful for his remarkable contributions over the past 29 years. His dedication, leadership and unwavering commitment to our patients and community have helped build the strong foundation we stand on today.

John’s journey at Memorial began in 1996, and his career is a true testament to growth, perseverance and service. He started as a Sanitation Aide in the Cafeteria, and over the years, he held roles including Patient Transporter, Tech Assistant, X-ray Technologist, CT Technologist, MRI Technologist, CT/MRI Team Leader, and Clinical Manager of Imaging Services.

For the past four years, he has led our Imaging Services department with excellence and compassion. John’s story is one of dedication and heart. He has touched countless lives – both patients and colleagues – and leaves behind a legacy that will continue to inspire us.

Thank you, John! We wish you all the best in your next chapter. You will be deeply missed and always remembered!

It’s time for the latest installment in our “Family Medicine Residents of the Month” series. Congratulations to these three rising stars of medicine! Get to know ’em:

Rikelle Trent, DO, PGY-1: Dr. Trent was born and raised in New Jersey before taking a leap of faith to study at Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine here in Las Cruces. “It was at Burrell that I found a home in Las Cruces and found my passion for family medicine! I affectionately call Las Cruces my “River in the Desert” as it is a place of Divine faithfulness, provision, and grace for me and my family.”

Jyoti Gurung, MD, PGY-2: Born and raised in Nepal, Dr. Gurung feels blessed to represent his community far from home here in Southern New Mexico. “I am exploring the beauty of family medicine and open to any possibility family medicine offers. I am a huge soccer supporter, and love to play and watch soccer during my free time.”

Zarmeena Sethar, MD, PGY-3: Beginning her medical education journey in Pakistan, Dr. Sethar is drawn to family medicine for its all-encompassing nature. “Above all, I am passionate about treating underserved, historically marginalized communities – with a focus on women’s health and preventive care. Beyond the hospital’s walls, I am a proud parent of two wonderful kids.”
