Hi, Vanessa here.
My path to serving goes all the way back when I was eight years old. My mom had sent me to help my aunt in Charlotte after a surgery. It was then she started calling me, “Little Nurse.” That was the first time I felt the joy of serving in health and home care.
From there, the medical field was a natural choice for me. Helping people on dialysis as their technician became my passion for 15 years, and those I worked with recognized it. In part, because I knew the impact that my work had: in dialysis, one mistake can be lethal. Managers would ask me to train others while patients would request me. My joy came from serving patients and helping them have the best quality of life they could with their condition.
It was through dialysis that I started working with the senior population. And they turned out to be my favorite patients. It’s very much like our company name—you can learn so much from the wisdom of the seniors you serve.
Which is why when Whitney asked me to be her partner to serve the seniors in the Charlotte area, it wasn’t a question.
