For nearly 20 years, Sara Ellis, RN, BSN, ACSL, PALS, has been a nurse primarily in the emergency room. She joined the Broward Health Coral Springs Emergency Department team in 2010.

“At the end of my 12-hour shift, I want to walk out of the doors feeling like I gave it my all,” Ellis said.

Ellis, who was born and raised in Sweden, came to the United States in 2008. Being in the health care field runs in the family. In Sweden, her mother worked as a personal care assistant when Ellis was growing up.

“She always made her patients smile and treated them with respect,” Ellis said. “She was my inspiration and my primary reason in choosing the healthcare career track.”

Providing quality care and ensuring her patients feel a sense of safety and security is paramount for Ellis. “The ER teamwork is like no other, we all rely on each other for the best outcome of every case/patient.”
