Personal Statement:
From a personal perspective, I had many interactions with case managers in both nursing home and hospice settings when my parents passed away in 2016. These experiences brought me a deeply personal understanding of the importance of advocacy as patients and their caregivers navigate the complexities of the health care system. I look forward to continuing to work with the CCMC board to promote the role of the case manager as an advocate that guides and empowers the consumer.
