I am proud of the work we do every day to fight neurological disease and am even more excited for what is to come."

"As a Clinical Research Coordinator III, working within the Pulmonary department, Cedars-Sinai gave me the opportunity to contribute to breakthrough discoveries of various COVID-19 treatments that are either FDA approved, or given as emergency use authorization to patients within the United States. Along with being recognized as one of the best hospitals in the nation, Cedars-Sinai is an excellent place to work."

"I work as a Postdoctorate Fellow in the Pierson Lab at CSMCs Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute. It has been wonderful working in such a collaborative and supportive environment. I am currently developing neurodegerative and neurodevelopment disease models using human Induced Pluiropotent Stem Cells (hiPSCs) derived from affected patients. By doing so, we hope to understand the underlying mechanisms of these diseases with the long-term goal of using this information to develop more effective and targeted novel therapeutics."

"Most people say they want to quit their job after winning the lottery. But everything in life is finite. Money isn’t everything, and it doesn’t mean everything. I try to live by making a difference."

Jaryd Hochberger

RN, BSN

"I am a product of Cedars Sinai’s commitment to supporting nurses. I was the organization’s first Transition to Practice RN hire. When many other academic hospitals did not like to hire nurses without an acute background, Cedars Sinai saw it as an opportunity. They provided not only skills and learning opportunities to help me care for our patients but also provided mentorship that has shaped the professional I am today. Since the day they hired me, I have participated in multiple organization-wide initiatives and represented the organization. For me, Cedars Sinai not only supports its nurses, but also makes tomorrow’s healthcare leaders."
