Summary

I am a dedicated Home Health nurse with 8 + years of experience within the Home Health department in Golden. This includes one year of casual employment and one year of working as CICC. My drive is the connection we create with clients and families, as well as working with the strong supportive team we have here. I find great satisfaction working with the multidisciplinary team to create solutions and careplans for families, that goes along with their wishes and beliefs. I believe that, thanks to the strong connections and years of experience working with IH policies and regulations, I would be a good fit for this temporary CICC role.
