Heroes of Health Care: Jennifer Zirkle

Jennifer Zirkle is the radiology supervisor at Davis Medical Center.

A handwritten letter from a grateful patient illustrates the profound impact Zirkle has on those she serves.

Despite the patient’s physical limitations, pain and anxiety, Zirkle’s compassionate presence transformed a challenging medical procedure into a moment of comfort, trust and gratitude.

The patient described Zirkle as “life-changing, a bright star” and someone they will never forget.

Co-workers say Zirkle regularly puts smiles on staff and patients’ faces and makes bad days better for everyone.
