I care for a wide variety of patient conditions ranging from traumatic injuries, orthopedic surgeries, and med-surg overflow.

I case manage multiple patients ranging from immediate hospital discharges to referrals sent from primary care physicians. I independently monitor them in home for acute exacerbations in disease processes and manage them accordingly to minimize risk for hospital admission. I assist patients in becoming more independent in their home and lifestyle by teaching of new or chronic conditions and how they can improve and manage them to prevent future exacerbations.
