Emily is another dedicated nurse at Holy Family Hospital. “When my grandmother fell ill that was the first taste of seeing the healthcare field and ever since then I knew I wanted to be apart of it.

I worked as a certified nursing assistant on a locked dementia unit for over 6 years. I worked through college and became a nurse in 2018. I can’t believe in my short time being a nurse I have worked through and survived a pandemic.

I am so thankful for all my coworkers who have helped me throughout the long nights and also thankful for my patients for trusting me with their lives. Nursing is so rewarding in so many ways and I feel fortunate to be able to help people in their time of need. “
