At the same time, she\u2019s satisfying her quest for new medical knowledge, one developed as a medical student and family practice physician in her native Colombia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLearning is one of my favorite parts of my job,\u201d Feria-Montes said. \u201cThe complexity of health care and the difficulty of cases we have is why I wanted to work at Memorial. I want to help people who are like me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike me,\u201d refers to the challenges faced by Spanish-speaking immigrants, often from Central and South America. It\u2019s the position Feria-Montes found herself\u00a0 in 18 years ago after she fled Colombia following death threats connected to her job as a civilian physician for the Colombian Army. She cared for leftist guerrilla soldiers following their surrender.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know what it\u2019s like to change your country, leave your family and completely change your environment,\u201d Feria-Montes said. \u201cI once was where they are now. I know what they\u2019re feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After immigrating to Colorado Springs under political asylum rules and facing the challenge of the language barrier, Feria-Montes worked as a certified nursing assistant at a local nursing home. She remembers her first day on the job and asking \u201cwould you like breakfast?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy English skills were too basic so I needed to start working with Americans and acquire the new language,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>As she gained command of the language and earned U.S. citizenship, she moved to medical assistant, care coordination positions and registered nurse care management positions with a local health system that serves low-income individuals. She joined UCHealth four years ago. From 2 to 10 p.m., she serves as the go-between for patients and providers, bouncing between departments such as oncology, surgery, neurology and serving as an on-call resource for emergencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be able to see patients from their initial diagnosis and to follow them through treatment journey brings me joy,\u201d Feria-Montes said. \u201cThe care we provide here is amazing. I\u2019m glad to be part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With an eye for detail honed as a physician, Diana Feria-Montes quickly dives into medical texts and websites when assigned a patient at UCHealth Memorial Hospital.
