One thing I love about being a Case Manager for Connect is that I have my own list of clients who I get to assist regarding their housing or any social need they may come across. I get to support them but also push them to make healthy changes in their life."

There is always a new challenge, and I love the dynamic responsibilities of the role. Each day is different from the last! I am also looking forward to empowering our nurses to practice to their full professional scope by working with Leadership to expand the reach of nursing visits and standing order sets for nurses.
