Quyana, Jalen!

Quyana to Jalen Konukpeok, COVID Coordinator, in the Infectious Diseases Division

“…During my busy outpatient clinic, I asked for Jalen Konukpeok’s assistance with something that no one (including him) in the outpatient department had an answer to. He did not come back to me until he had an answer. I was so grateful for his efforts as they improved my patient’s day and made my clinic run much more smoothly.”

-Marlena Strandir, Family Practice Physician, Chief of Staff
