After receiving more than 480 nominations from the ImageFIRST Service Team, nine healthcare heroes were chosen as finalists. Votes were cast by the public on the contest’s website for the hero who inspired them the most.

“I would like to express my sincere admiration and gratitude for Elaine Moyer’s exceptional and devoted care,” said Marcello Nieto, an ImageFIRST service manager in San Antonio. “Her nomination is truly well-deserved.” The San Antonio team’s nominee, Elaine Moyer, was voted one of the top three winners. “Her unwavering dedication to providing loving care to her patients is evident in everything she does,” Nieto added. “Elaine’s selflessness is truly admirable, as she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure they have everything they need. Her genuine compassion shines through, and it serves as an inspiration to all those around her. Elaine’s commitment to making a difference in the lives of others is truly remarkable.”
