Our Weight Loss Center Coordinator
Sabrina Gary has been a devoted member of the Central Baptist Hospital team for 10 years. Her career as a health unit coordinator began in the post-open heart surgery unit, where Sabrina facilitated every aspect of patient care as ordered by surgeons, nurses, cardiologists, anesthesiologists, nephrologists, and many other specialists. Sabrina also provided bedside care and obtained her Nursing Assistant Certification during this time. Later Sabrina cared for some of our most compromised patients, those in renal failure. She spent nearly 8 years in the Acute Hemodialysis Unit as the Health Unit Coordinator and obtained her Certification as a Dialysis Technician during that tenure.
Sabrina joined the staff of the Weight Loss Surgery Program in May of 2008, eager to help men and women lead a healthier life through the benefits of weight-loss surgery. As our office coordinator, Sabrina will help you navigate your journey by guiding you through your appointments and consults, labs and classes. Right up to the day of surgery and for every post-op visit, Sabrina is here for you.
