The holidays kicked off in style Dec. 22, 2025, with the first annual Ugly Holiday Sweater Party at HonorHealth Sonoran Crossing and Deer Valley medical centers.

The festive event was sparked by the idea of Natalie Brnilovich, MD and Brianna Hackman, MD. What began as a simple thought turned into a memorable event full of laughter, creativity and colleague spirit.

From boldly blinking lights to over-the-top sweaters, the room was filled with holiday cheer and impressive fashion statements.

Colleagues showed up ready to celebrate, proving that a little silliness goes a long way in bringing people together.

Beyond the sweaters, the party was a great opportunity to relax, connect and enjoy time with one another outside of the usual hectic routine.

It served as a reminder of how important these shared moments are, especially during a busy season.

Special credit goes to Dorren Yanotta for helping bring the event to fruition. If this year was any indication, the Ugly Holiday Sweater Party is here to stay, and we can’t wait to see how next year tops it!

We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who participated and helped make this event a success.
