Senior Care Clinic Medical House Calls

I first met CarePoint Healthcare Hospice co-founder, Owy Holmquist when I was just starting my practice—ten patients, a borrowed office space, and the quiet uncertainty of building something from the ground up.

She was new to marketing then, too, just finding her own footing. But even in those early days, she did something rare: she showed up. Not once or twice, not only when a referral was needed—every week, without fail. Her presence wasn’t transactional; it was intentional. She made time.

That consistency became her signature. For over a decade, she built her marketing career not just on strategy, but on trust earned through presence. Then, she transitioned into owning and operating care homes, bringing that same dependability to the world of direct caregiving. She had studied nursing—two full years—before stepping away for family. But the heart of a caregiver never left her.

Now, as the co-founder of a clinician-owned and operated hospice agency, she leads with the same steady poise. Her agency partners seamlessly with Senior Care Clinic Medical House Calls (a home-based palliative and primary care practice), forming a continuum of care rooted in relationship and reliability.

Because of that consistency—her habit of showing up, listening, following through—those she once visited as “clients” now consider her family. I do too. She’s no longer just a colleague or collaborator. She’s part of the foundation. Part of the reason we’re still here. Part of the reason we keep going.

Kudos toGerontological Advanced Practice Nurses Associationssociation (Northern California Chapter): Chapter Excellence Award!

To the champions of elder care,
With knowledge deep and hearts laid bare—
Who gather not for praise or fame,
But to uplift the GAPNA name.

Northern California, strong and wise,
You’ve earned this honor—no surprise!
For every visit, call, and plan,
You’ve shown the soul behind the scan.

You’ve stood by seniors day and night,
Advocating for their right—
To age with dignity and grace,
In every home, in every place.

You teach, you mentor, lead the way,
You fight for access every day.
And when the system says, “Not yet,”
You counter with: “We won’t forget.”

From Capitol steps to bedside calls,
You’ve served with purpose through it all.
You’ve built a chapter strong and true—
And now this honor comes to you.

So raise a toast, lift up your cheer—
Chapter of the blessed year!
The work you do, beyond compare—
You’ve always, always been there.

Here’s to the team whose hearts don’t tire—
Northern Cal GAPNA—you inspire!

“To do what nobody else will do, in a way that nobody else can do, in spite of all we go through…that is what it is to be a nurse.” (Joseph Campbell, scholar and author)
