Compassion and dedication aren’t just words — they’re the foundation of how we care for our patients at LAMC. Recently, two of our incredible team members, Ed Truman and Lake Salas from the Laboratory, demonstrated what true patient-centered care looks like.

When a young patient arrived for a blood draw feeling anxious and afraid, Ed and Lake didn’t just complete the task — they went the extra mile. They stayed after hours to ensure the experience was as calm and comforting as possible. Lake even volunteered to have blood drawn first to ease the patient’s fears, and together they finished by giving her a teddy bear for being brave.

Their actions made a huge difference for this patient and led to a social media post applauding their compassionate care. Stories like this remind us that healthcare is about more than procedures — it’s about people.

To Ed and Lake: Your actions inspire us all and set the standard for compassionate care. Thank you for making a difference when it mattered most.

After more than 20 incredible years at Los Alamos Medical Center, we bid a heartfelt farewell to Vicki Martinez as she begins her well-deserved retirement. Vicki has been a cornerstone of our hospital family, serving as the Executive Assistant in Administration for most of her tenure.

If you’ve ever walked into the administration suite, chances are Vicki’s warm smile was the first to greet you. Known as the gatekeeper to the executive team, Vicki balanced grace and professionalism, ensuring smooth operations behind the scenes.

Her kindness and sweet demeanor were matched by her unwavering commitment to time management and efficiency — a true protector of the hospital’s rhythm. As one CEO once said: “All paths lead through Vicki.” That statement perfectly captures the vital role she played in connecting people and keeping everything running smoothly.

On December 30th, we celebrated Vicki’s last day with bittersweet joy. While we will deeply miss her presence and expertise, we are thrilled for her as she embarks on this next chapter of life.

Vicki, thank you for your dedication, your laughter, and the countless ways you’ve supported our team. Enjoy every moment of the retirement you’ve worked so hard for!
