“I’d like to nominate Jessi Pinnock for the Exemplary Care Award. She saw one of my patients in early March, a 60 year old woman with very little significant past medical history who presented with a severe cough (retrospectively she likely had COVID). She caught an abnormal pulse rate, did an EKG and found an abnormal atrial rhythm. She sent the patient to the ER where she was found to be in A.fib and was subsequently cardioverted. The patient is now doing very well and expressed gratitude for the care she has received at Mountain Family. I really believe Jessi saved her life by catching A.fib that day. The chest symptoms and fatigue she was having could have easily been attributed to her acute illness. I am so glad Jessi joined our team in Basalt; we are lucky to have her!” -Emily Borkovec, PA-C
