August 2026

Natalie Howard, MD
Cheyenne OBGYN Physician

“Before my procedure, I became overwhelmed with anxiety and was very emotional as I laid down on the table. Dr. Howard held my hand as I drifted off under anesthesia, offering comfort and reassurance when I needed it most. That simple act of kindness meant more to me than I can express. In one of the most vulnerable moments of my life, Dr. Howard made me feel safe, cared for and never alone. I will always be grateful for the care she provided.”

Joe Carpi
Respiratory Therapist

“We had a patient with multiple health issues and who was very lonely. Joe and his student took the time to write out questions she had on paper because she was unable to write. When he was done writing out her needs and talking to her, he went to the kitchen and got her a chocolate pudding because she had mentioned wanting something to eat.”

Colleen Montoya
Cancer Center Administrative Assistant

“Colleen is always going above and beyond for our patients and making connections with them. She always has a smile on her face. Her welcoming presence is something that is valued and appreciated at the Cancer Center.”

MRI Team, VIP Team Award

“Our MRI team consistently demonstrates exceptional communication skills with patients, providers and fellow staff members. They take the time to explain procedures, ease patient anxieties and ensure every patient feels heard, respected and cared for throughout their experience. Their hard work, dedication and unwavering commitment to providing exceptional patient care make them truly an asset to Medical Imaging.”
