I manage hospital supplies, inventory, and sterile surgical materials to support timely patient care.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently supporting patient care at Mountain View Hospital by managing medical supplies, inventory, shipping and receiving, sterile storage, and PAR levels. I ensure clinical units have the materials they need while maintaining accurate perpetual inventory records and addressing damaged or obsolete stock.
Previously, I coordinated patient records and high-volume communications at Valley Hospital, supported surgical case carts and operating room inventory at Sharp Memorial Hospital, and worked as a Surgical Technologist and Materials Specialist at Sharp Outpatient Pavilion. Across more than 20 years of customer service, healthcare support, and inventory operations, I've brought strong communication, medical terminology knowledge, accurate documentation, and organized supply management to each role.
