Service Star
Sharon Kloiber, R.N., case manager
As case manager Sharon Kloiber, R.N., worked to prepare one of her patients for discharge, she heard someone else on LVH—Muhlenberg’s 4T call for help. Concerned, Kloiber and fellow case manager Juan Collazo ran up the hall to answer the call.
Kloiber immediately recognized that a patient was choking on a piece of toast. She positioned herself behind her and administered the Heimlich maneuver, successfully clearing her airway. “I've never seen anyone so poised in an emergent situation as Sharon was on that day,” Collazo says. “It was impressive to watch.”
“Sharon’s background in emergency medicine and home health make her an important asset for the case management team,” says case management director Maureen Sawyer, who, with Collazo, nominated Kloiber for Service Star.
