Our Story
Throughout my career, many of my patients have shared their struggles navigating the complicated healthcare system. Too many people aren’t having their needs met with the current state of healthcare. Visits are often rushed because of time constraints, questions are going unanswered, and coordination of services can fall through the cracks.
I’ve witnessed my own family members struggle to get timely responses and direction for their medical concerns. It wasn’t until I became the primary caregiver to my aunt and mother-in-law that I began to wonder how anyone navigated the healthcare system without a nurse in their lives.
I have had the privilege of working at one of the best hospitals in the world for the last 27 years. I’m constantly amazed at the advances in medicine and the benefit it brings to our patients. But what happens in the hospital is just the beginning. Being handed a discharge packet full of new medications, instructions, and appointments to be scheduled can feel overwhelming.
Each nurse at Hummingbird Nurse Consulting has decades of experience at world-renowned hospitals managing a variety of acute and complex health situations. I invited them to join this team because they are passionate about easing the burden that comes from accessing care, and advocating for patients within a system that is not user friendly.
We know how hard it is to balance the many responsibilities of life in addition to overseeing care for loved ones. Having a nurse provide home-based, highly personalized guidance and support when you need it most can make the transition home smoother. It also extends independence for those who want to age in place.
Let us partner with you and share our expertise to make a stressful period easier, and provide you with the space you need to be the family, not the nurse.
