Eric Garcia came to Paradise Valley Hospital in a time of need. The night shift at our hospital laboratory was short a position. Eric, a clinical laboratory scientist, was hired on as a contract “traveler” employee to fill that gap. Very quickly Eric’s reliability, dedication, and work ethic ingratiated him with his co-workers. And the feeling was mutual from Eric towards his new “work-family,” so much so that he decided to stay on as a full-time employee after his contract ended.
Nico Saguin, Eric’s director, was happy when Eric was chosen as Paradise Valley Hospital “WOW” Employee of the Month for July, 2025. “Having Eric here allows us to provide uninterrupted service for our patients. We are so grateful that Eric decided to stay permanently. He is an outstanding employee and an overall high performer. We very much value Eric’s contributions to the laboratory.”
