Congratulations to Clare Zimmerman, RN for being named the OR (Operating Room) Superstar for October 2020! As Dr. John Herzenberg, our ICLL director states, "Clare runs the RIAO operating rooms efficiently, effectively and expertly. This allows us to deliver the highest quality surgical care to our patients."
Did you know that the ICLL has six operating rooms that were custom designed, constructed, and equipped specifically for the RIAO? Clare not only oversees all of these ORs and their nursing staff, she is also a dedicated member of Team RIAO. For years, Clare has participated in all of our fundraising events supporting our patients. Whether it be a Save-A-Limb event, the Race for Our Kids or the Ronald McDonald House Red Shoe Shuffle, Clare is always there for Team RIAO!
