Desiree leverages the experience she gained while in the U.S. Army every day when it comes to her work as a Medical Assistant at Northwell Health where she started in 2014. The compassionate and empathetic care she demonstrated as a Field Medic while serving translates perfectly into our mission of delivering world-class care.
As she states, “My favorite part about being a Medical Assistant at Northwell Health is meeting new people and learning more about them. I love helping people feel at ease before their visit with the provider.” She leans on her experience developing strategies to provide first aid and trauma care in the military to enhance the way we work as a team within our organization. Northwell Health provides veterans with the support they need to facilitate a smooth and rewarding transition to civilian life. Also, being a part of the veteran’s mentorship program Desiree feels equipped with endless opportunities to advance her career with Northwell Health at her side.

Jared Singer’s five years of active duty in the United States Air Force provided exposure to a variety of emergency medicine and training experiences. After the Air Force, Jared completed his BSN and looked to begin his nursing career. He attended Northwell’s Military Veteran Networking Event where he met our dedicated Veteran’s Liaison. In 2019, Jared was hired into our Critical Care Fellowship program and is now doing his part to raise our quality of care. “I was able to sit in on a seven-hour surgery and was honestly blown away with the technology, professionalism and skills every individual had in performing such intricate procedures. I’m constantly learning and evolving every single day my feet are on the hospital floor, and I couldn’t have asked for a better first job after separating from the Air Force.”
