Meet Gio Vargas-Soto – CNA, Med/Surg Unit

For more than a decade, Gio Vargas-Soto has brought compassion, dedication, and teamwork to the Med/Surg Unit at Prowers Medical Center. As a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Gio plays a vital role in providing direct patient care—and in supporting the entire care team.

In her words, she’s also “an emotional support person to the RNs,” and her positivity has made her a beloved part of the PMC family for the past 12 years.

Gio says her favorite part of the job is working with her team. “We work so well together and provide the best patient care,” she shares. “It also warms my heart when patients tell me I helped make their stay more enjoyable.” Making a difference, even in small ways, is what fuels her every day.

Outside of work, Gio enjoys staying active—running races with friends, hanging out with her niece and nephew, walking her three dogs, and cruising around on her little blue scooter in the summer.

A true animal lover, Gio also owns two horses she’s cared for over the past seven years. Her love for animals and her kind-hearted spirit shine through in all areas of her life.

And fun fact—Gio was named Employee of the Year in 2015, a well-deserved recognition for someone who gives so much to her patients and team.

We’re proud to celebrate Gio and the incredible care she brings to Prowers Medical Center every single day.
