Meet some of the talented members of our team here at Sunrise of Upper St. Clair, PA. 

Tamara Erny

Lead Care Manager

Tamara has been serving our residents and their families since August of 2008. She has spent her Sunrise career as part of the team in our Reminiscence Neighborhood.  She loves that fact that she spends her work days taking care of others.  

Encouraging Independence is Tamara’s favorite Sunrise Principle of Service. She spends her days ensuring that her residents find a sense of purpose in their life by providing them with the framework to make independent decisions throughout their days.  

"I love being a part of our team here at Sunrise of Upper St. Clair,” Tamara said. “I believe everyone has something special to bring to the table and I love seeing how all of our differences come together and make us an amazing team!” We are lucky to have someone like Tamara to serve and love our residents.

Patty Kramer

Lead Concierge

Patty is a staple here at Sunrise of Upper St. Clair.  She was part of the opening team at our building in February of 2005. 

For many, Patty is the first face they will see when being introduced to Sunrise.  When considering our Sunrise Principles of Service, Celebrating Individuality

is her favorite. “I enjoy getting to know the residents’ personalities and their individual celebrations in life,” Patty said. “Everyone is a unique person working their way through life.”  Her years of service prove her dedication to what Sunrise stands for and we are grateful for her.

Jamie Hess

Activities and Volunteer Coordinator

Jamie joined the Sunrise team as a care manager in March of 2010.  She has a natural way of connecting with our residents and took on the role as Activities and Volunteer Coordinator shortly after joining our team.  

“I have the best job in the whole world,” Jamie said. “It is my goal every day to make my residents happy.  What could be better than that?!”  

Jamie’s favorite Principle of Service is Nurturing the Spirit. Jamie finds a way of honing in on the unique needs and interests of our residents, which is reflected in the variety of activities she plans.
