Gentle Jenel

I'm working here....

Jenel Slonaker is a Surgical Technician at the Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics at Sinai Hospital. She was born just north of us in Lancaster, PA, and studied Surgical Technology in New Jersey. After graduation, she worked at the Hospital for Joint Diseases in New York, and at Shock Trauma Hospital in Baltimore. For the past several years, she has been with us at Sinai. Jenel is a Surgical Tech by day, and a student at CCBC (Community College of Baltimore County) by night, working on her Bachelor's Degree.

"Dr. D, did you forget to put
this back in...?"

Jenel is mission experienced, having traveled with Operation Walk Maryland to Ecuador in 2010. Our own Dr. Harpal Khanuja led that mission, and reports that Jenel worked hard, and was inspired by the opportunity to help people in need. Her long term goal now is to become a Physician Assistant.
Jenel is pictured above helping us to remove an external fixator, and we're not sure WHAT she's doing with that proximal femur on the right, though she looks like she is ready to blast off into outer space....
We anticipate running two operating rooms in Haiti next month, and this should keep Jenel on her toes!
