Congratulations to the team at Adventist Health Howard Memorial!
I am excited to recognize Adventist Health Howard Memorial for receiving the Overall Hospital Quality Five-Star Rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the highest possible rating a hospital can achieve. This amazing achievement is one that is owned by our entire team and wouldn’t be possible without all of their incredible work, and commitment to patient-centered care. Every team member plays a part in this incredible acknowledgement and award, and their commitment to excellence is truly inspiring. We are here for our patients and community to provide the best quality care possible to each person who walks through our doors. According to CMS, the Overall Star Rating summarizes a variety of measures across five areas of quality into a single star rating for each hospital. The measures include Mortality, Safety, Readmission, Patient Experience and Timely & Effective Care. Each hospital has a star rating that ranges from one to five stars, with five stars signifying the highest quality. Of the 4,600 hospitals evaluated by CMS, Adventist Health Howard Memorial is one of only two hospitals in the Northern California area to achieve this five-star rating. Only 10% of hospitals nationwide have earned five stars. I am so proud of our team for all their work as a critical access hospital to achieve this rating and are grateful to our community for trusting us with your care.
Please help us welcome our first cohort of family medicine residents to Adventist Health Sonora!
I was thrilled to welcome our first cohort of family medicine residents to Sonora today! A first in our region, Adventist Health Sonora is now home to an accredited graduate medical education program.

I am excited about their growth as physicians and about the ways this program will improve healthcare in our community for years to come! Pictured with me here are Matthew Personius, MD, Associate Residency Program Director; Alem Abraha, MD; Stephanie Sanders, DO; Robert Verghese, MD; Jeremiah O’Connor, DO; and Carlene Maggio, Residency Program Coordinator.

Diane Severud's daughter, Cory, passed away in the Adventist Health Sonora ICU a few months before nurse Jessica Hamilton started a special program at the hospital for family members experiencing a loss like hers. The Heartbeat in a Bottle project provides a keepsake for families to treasure after a loved one has passed. When Diane saw our social media post about the project, she reached out to our team. Knowing grieving families need more comfort and compassion, Jessica, her ICU coworkers and our medical records department worked together to make a Heartbeat in a Bottle that has Cory’s EKG reading inside of it for Diane. Watch the video to hear more about what receiving this gift means to Diane. #MadeForMore #AdventistHealthSonora
