S
Providers to
care for your
family
O
ver the past few
months, you may
have noticed some
provider changes at Samar-
itan Clinics. We are excited
to announce three new
providers preparing to join
Samaritan and to introduce
Tara Zamarron, ARNP,
who
is currently seeing patients
in Family Medicine.
Zamarron joined the
Family Medicine Depart-
ment in April with the main
goal of working with Kevin
Smith, MD, in a new team-
care approach. In light of
Dr. Smith’s retirement, we
have since moved Zamar-
ron into a full-time provider
role, where she is begin-
ning to see Dr. Smith’s
patients. Zamarron is also
accepting new patients,
and her appointment book
is filling up fast!
H. Scott Mounts,
ARNP,
who already lived
in Moses Lake, joined the
Family Medicine Depart-
ment on Aug. 23. He
is an Internal Medicine
ARNP with a great deal
of experience treating pa-
tients who require complex
treatment plans. Mounts is
well-loved by his patients,
and the entire staff is
thrilled to have him join the
Samaritan team. Mounts
has hit the ground running,
and his calendar is now
open for appointments.
Elaine Peterson,
DO,
is a pediatrician
who will be joining us
in September at the
Parkview Pediatric Clinic
building. Dr. Peterson is
a Washington native and
completed her DO training
at Pacific Northwest Uni-
versity. Her undergraduate
studies were completed
at Western Washington
University. During Dr. Pe-
terson’s interview, she said
how impressed she was by
the strong sense of com-
munity in Moses Lake.
Lexie Zuver, DO,
grew
up in central Washington
and is excited to return
home and provide full-
spectrum services in the
Family Medicine Depart-
ment, including obstet-
rics. Dr. Zuver completed
her DO training at Pacific
Northwest University. Her
undergraduate studies
were completed in Pasco,
Washington, and Salem,
Oregon. Zuver’s passions
include working with chil-
dren, community service
and patient education in a
rural health care setting.
Samaritan Healthcare is excited
to announce the opening of Car-
diac Rehabilitation Phase 2, lo-
cated inside of Samar itan
Hospital.

disease, lessen the physical and emotional effects of heart
disease, and improve their stamina and strength to re-
sume daily activities and return to work. Participation in
a cardiac rehab program is covered by most insurances,
and a physician referral is required.
Research has shown that patients who are able to par-
ticipate in rehab services closer to home are more likely
to complete their program and maintain their lifestyle
changes over longer periods of time. Patients enjoy the
lasting health benefits of cardiac rehab at a convenient
location.
IS CARDIAC REHAB RIGHT FOR YOU?
Many patients are
eligible for cardiac rehab. Medicare covers those who have
had any of the following conditions or events: heart attack,
stent placement, bypass surgery, angina, heart or valve sur-
gery, or heart transplant. Private insurance coverage varies
but will be reviewed by staff before starting the program.
We know you have goals for your health—we do too!
Through this new program, we help patients identify,
modify and manage risk factors to reduce disability, mor-
bidity and mortality. Our patients experience improved
functional capacity and fewer activity-related symptoms.
Education is an important part of our program, and pa-
tients learn lifelong lessons about the management of
heart disease. We strive to improve each patient’s qual-
ity of life.
The core components of our program are baseline and
ongoing patient assessment, risk factor management, and
exercise and activity training. All of our patients are seen
by highly skilled exercise physiologists who specialize
in health and fitness. Confluence Cardiology oversees
all physicians.
