Introduction
Stephanie Polochak is a certified registered nurse anesthetist who values compassion as a bedrock of the care she delivers. She’s inspired and motivated by care she received as a patient receiving anesthesia – Stephanie knows firsthand how vulnerable her patients feel.
“Part of my role is to make my patients feel physically comfortable from before the operation starts, all the way until their procedure is complete,” Stephanie says. “I also offer my patients emotional support by establishing a relationship before their procedure and explaining things well to alleviate their concerns.”
Stephanie enjoys raising animals and vegetables on her farm, backpacking, fly fishing, hiking, and riding horses.
