Anna

I am a dedicated and compassionate licensed vocational nurse with 10 years of experience in the healthcare field. I have a passion for helping others and making a positive impact on their lives, which led me to pursue a career in nursing. I have worked in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and home healthcare, allowing me to gain a diverse range of skills and knowledge.

In addition to my clinical skills, I am a strong advocate for patient education and empowerment. I believe that by providing patients with the necessary knowledge and tools, they can actively participate in their own healthcare decisions and improve their overall well-being.

I am committed to staying current with the latest advancements in nursing practice and continuously enhancing my skills through ongoing education and professional development. I am a lifelong learner and always strive to provide the highest quality of care to my patients.

I am excited to be a part of the nursing profession and look forward to continuing my journey as a nurse, providing compassionate and evidence-based care to those in need in person or remotely.

Taylor

I have been a nurse for 3 years. After spending several years in the healthcare industry, my passion for helping others continued to grow and lead to my career in nursing.

After graduating with my LPN degree, I began my career at my local Health Department and an assisted living facility. I am passionate about providing quality care and working with my team to ensure my patients are receiving the best care possible.

Morgan

I have been a nurse for 3 years and have been fortunate enough to work in a variety of places with a variety of people! I started in a non profit clinic, then moved to the Emergency Department where I have spent most of my nursing career, and most recently I was a corrections nurse.

I spent 17 years before becoming a nurse as a bartender, which is where I discovered how much I love to connect with and help people. Because of this I started to volunteer with the fire department which ultimately led to going into nursing school.

I work hard to make sure that I treat everyone as I would like them treated if they were my family, and I am very passionate about being an advocate for those in need.

Erica

I have been a Nurse for a little over a year. II have worked in a variety of healthcare settings ranging from pediatric to geriatric care. In addition to being an LVN, I am also a Lactation Consultant and provide lactation services to moms in need. I strive to be the very best nurse for all my patients. And provide them with caring, compassionate and thorough nursing care that they all deserve.

Rebekah

With over 10 years of experience in the healthcare industry, I am a Clinical Nurse Specialist with a degree in Cancer Registry Management and a passion for improving patient outcomes through technology and education.

I have worked with leading companies that leverage healthcare information technology (HIT) to connect patients with clinical trials, treatments, and providers, using data-driven and patient-centered approaches. Most recently, I was part of the team at 83bar, the patient activation company, where I applied my core competencies in communication, healthcare, and HIT to provide personalized and compassionate support, guidance, and follow-up to patients who were seeking solutions for their health and wellness challenges. I also contributed to the company’s mission of empowering patients to take charge of their own health, by using a proprietary platform that integrated healthcare data, communication, and education. Additionally, I worked as an independent contractor at Tempus Labs, where I helped collect, analyze, and share genomic and clinical data for cancer research and precision medicine.

In both roles, I demonstrated my commitment to learning and advancing the field of cancer care, as well as my ability to work collaboratively and effectively with diverse teams and stakeholders. Prior to this, I worked in multiple clinical settings for 4 years to provide patient care in areas such as express care, internal medicine, gastroenterology, nephrology, and family practice. I loved them all because I love and enjoy helping people more than anything.

High-quality care between visits

• A cancer diagnosis can upend a patient’s life. ECHO’s Connected Care program – funded through Medicare reimbursement for Chronic Care Management – helps provide the continuous care and support their patients need.
• ECHO maintains an impressive 95% patient engagement rate for 1500+ at-risk patients – enabling the practice to surface issues and intervene early to keep their patients out of the ED or hospital.

Satisfied, empowered patients

• ECHO patients can text or call their chronic care managers for rapid help  – no waiting on hold, no impersonal scripted monthly check-ins. ECHO patients report a 9.4/10 average satisfaction score with the practice’s Chronic Care Management program.
• LPN care managers check in proactively with patients and are fully integrated with their practice’s clinical workflows.

Enhanced, cost-effective infrastructure for patient care

• ECHO’s CCM program infrastructure helps facilitate Patient Navigation and Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) programs.
• Chronic Care Management allows ECHO to offer comprehensive whole-person care and support to their oncology patients – while generating revenue the practice can use to reinvest in additional staff and quality initiatives.
