Heartfelt Highlights
• What inspired you to join hospice care? I was with a home health company that merged with a hospice company years ago and when one of my long-time patients was getting moved to the hospice side; I just could not let him go and asked to move him
• What do you love most about working at Bridge Hospice? The unbelievably amazing people Bridge has brought into my life! I love my work family and love the impact we are making on our community.
• Share a favorite moment, story, or memory from your time here. I took a call one night to answer a billing question and ended up on the phone with a family member of a patient of ours for a few hours talking, crying, laughing; you name it. She was going through a difficult time and as much as she needed that connection right then I think I needed it more.
• How does being locally owned make a difference to you and the families we serve? In a way it feels like we are family members caring for family members. We are all connected, and our bottom line is always patient care first.
• What’s something people might not know about your role? I like to say that I take care of the people who take care of our patients.
• Favorite Savannah spot to relax or recharge? When I first arrived in Savannah (husband is military) we had to quarantine since coming from another country (during covid) and had to be escorted on base and had to wait at Hollbrock pond. This was the first time I had seen a Gator!!! This was the first time in 3 days I had been off a plane or bus!! My kids played and it just felt amazing, the moss trees were stunning, and no one was there but us so that place holds a very special place to my heart.
• Share a hidden talent or fun fact about yourself! I sound impeccably close to a goat when I sing ;) it’s pretty impressive.
• Three words that describe Bridge Hospice? Unmatched, amazing, heartfelt
• What’s your message to new team members or volunteers joining Bridge? Due to military life, I have had the pleasure of working for many companies in many states/countries and in many roles. I can 1000% say Bridge Hospice has stolen my heart. Tony is the most amazing generous person I have ever worked for and if you take care of his patients and his team he will take care of you.
