March 2025 LEAF Award Recipient

Summer Ramirez

Summer Ramirez, Emergency Department

LEAF Award – March 2025

Summer joined San Antonio three years ago as a tech in our Emergency Department. She approaches everything the day brings with a positive attitude.  Her teamwork, flexibility, and dedication are truly appreciated by her colleagues.  Summer was nominated by a fellow care team member who worked alongside her during a busy Monday afternoon/evening in the ED lobby.  Mondays are typically extended wait times, and several patients were brought in that day and left without a family spokesperson.  Summer went out of her way to advocate for these patients.  She was their voice when family was absent.   Care team members like Summer are the reason our staff members choose the San Antonio ED when seeking care for themselves and/or their family members.  Summer’s long-term goal is to become a physician assistant. She also proudly serves our country as an Air Force medic.  Congratulations, Summer!
