Sterling Regional MedCenter Trauma Manager Jamie Groshans Honored by NCRETAC

Jamie Groshans, BSN, RN, CEN, TCRN, the trauma program manager at Sterling Regional MedCenter, was presented with the Northeast Colorado Regional EMS and Trauma Advisory Council’s Trauma Program Manager of the Year Award at an awards ceremony held Feb. 17 in Loveland. Sterling Regional MedCenter is identified in council materials as a Level III trauma center, and Groshans serves patients and coordinates trauma care for Logan County.

“Jamie stands out for her ability to pair deep technical knowledge with strong, relationship-driven leadership. She is highly respected for her attention to detail, her commitment to continuous improvement, and her collaborative approach with EMS and hospital partners. Much of her work happens behind the scenes, but it has a direct and measurable impact on patient outcomes and system reliability. She is widely trusted as a steady and effective leader within the regional trauma system,” Nudell said.

Council roster material lists Groshans with 19 years as an RN and more than 12 years of emergency room experience, noting she has represented Logan County since 2022. The NCRETAC entry also records professional memberships and instructor roles: Groshans is a member of the Emergency Nurses Association and the American Trauma Society, she serves on the membership committee of the Colorado ENA, and she is a certified TNCC instructor and a Stop the Bleed Instructor.

A ceremony photo caption identifies the presenter as Thompson Valley EMS Chief James Robinson, who presented the Northeast Colorado Regional Emergency and Trauma Services Advisory Council’s Trauma Program Manager of the Year Award to Groshans; the image credit is given to Mitchell Ward. NCRETAC roster listings separately include “James Robinson, MA, LPVice-President, Larimer County since 2023,” a formatting presentation that differs from the captioned title. The differing listings show multiple regional roles among council leadership across Larimer, Morgan, Yuma and Weld counties.

Regional roster entries included with NCRETAC materials underscore the council’s rural coverage and expertise: Travis W. Freeman is listed as Director of Morgan County Ambulance Service and EMS Education Coordinator at Morgan Community College and represents rural Colorado on the State Emergency Medical Trauma Advisory Council; Keriann Josh is listed as Director for the City of Yuma Ambulance Service serving 1100 square miles of Yuma and Washington counties; other entries reference trauma program managers at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Ft. Morgan and Medical Center of the Rockies, illustrating the networked structure of regional trauma oversight.

Groshans’s award highlights the role of trauma program management in Logan County’s emergency care system. Her credentials and instructor roles — BSN, CEN, TCRN, TNCC instructor and Stop the Bleed Instructor — and the council recognition point to sustained clinical experience and regional collaboration intended to improve patient outcomes and system reliability across northeast Colorado.
