Meet Krystal, Certified Surgical Technologist and Health Raiser

Krystal Marcia started her career at Northwell’s North Shore University Hospital in 2013 and transferred to South Shore University Hospital (SSUH) in 2019. Over the last 5 years, Krystal has loved being a member of the SSUH perioperative team as a certified surgical technologist. In her role, Krystal loves being able to help our patients in their most critical moments of their health journey as she is part of a team that delivers patient care for individuals during surgery.  While working alongside surgeons and the SSUH surgical team using state-of-the-art technology, Krystal is responsible for maintaining the sterility of the instruments and facilitating the set up of the operating room for surgical procedures.

Krystal considers her team members to be a compassionate group of individuals who are always supportive and know how important each person in the room is to ensure successful outcomes together as one team. She shared how her leaders and team members have provided her with guidance in her current role, career advice to advance to the next step and the importance of work/life balance. “My team at Northwell is my second family. They want to see us progress in our careers and have our best interest at heart.” With the support of her team, Krystal is currently receiving tuition reimbursement to obtain her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and advance her career to become a registered nurse.

At Northwell Health, our perioperative services team delivers innovative surgical procedures with precision and purpose. Our team members have numerous opportunities to learn and grow as we deliver groundbreaking outcomes from cardiac to neuro to liver transplant to orthopedic and more.
