Employee Resource Group members Brittany Sloan and Ellie Fowell engaged with several hundred people during the day-long event. “People appreciated seeing us at the event, knowing that we care about our community," Sloan said. They handed out magnets, bags, fans, and tattoos. They also listened to people’s experiences with Vancouver Clinic and provided helpful information. "We heard a lot of great stories about how our patients received exceptional and compassionate care,” Fowell said.

Congratulations to Dr. Leslie Disher, who has completed an incredible 1,000 robotic-assisted surgeries for patients. Dr. Disher is one of Vancouver’s most experienced general surgeons using minimally invasive, robotic-assisted technology. She advocates for using outpatient robotic surgery when it’s appropriate for the patient, as it typically results in a faster and more comfortable recovery than other techniques. For the last year, Dr. Disher has performed many of these outpatient procedures at Vancouver Clinic’s state-of-the-art Surgery Center at Salmon Creek 2. Thank you, Dr. Disher, for the expert care you give to our patients and our community.
