Bio

Hello everyone,

I am a board-certified family nurse practitioner with advanced certification in hospice and palliative nursing. My focus is specialized medical care, promoting comfort and symptom management for the adult patient and their family dealing with a serious illness or for those nearing end of life. 

Historically, my practice settings include: acute care, sub-acute care,  long-term acute care, palliative ambulatory clinic, community based palliative care,  in-patient hospice residential center, hospice community based care, GIP acute care, cancer/oncology infusion center and ambulatory clinic, pain management ambulatory clinic/office, community based pain management, skilled nursing and rehabilitation along with experience in peri-operative orthopedic joint and bone surgery. 

My first honor is to serve my patients and families experiencing a serious illness helping them with their goals of care and advanced care planning allowing them live at their highest level of wellness.  Together we develop a plan of care to maintain an acceptable quality of life and to manage their symptoms related to the illness or those symptoms associated with the treatments. 

My second honor is to serve those patients and families who choose hospice care helping them to focus on dignity, comfort and quality of life when a cure is no longer possible or when the burdens of treatment outweigh the benefits. My third honor is to mentor and develop other health care professionals in the art and delivery of palliative medicine and hospice care. 

Serving others is my passion.

Cheryl
