Better Know Healthcare
A little tagline serving a BIG purpose:
to suggest that there is always more to know about our healthcare, and, well, we’d better!
About Nancy
I can tell you that I have been inside The Kaleidoscope, too. As a daughter, caregiver, care coordinator, sister and employee I would experience those all-too-brief times in caregiving when things are became calm, clear and into focus. Then BOOM, everything you’ve worked so hard to maneuver changes and disrupts your pretty view.
Armed with education and relevant work experience my sister and I thought we were the two best equipped daughters on the planet to assist our parents as they aged. My sister as part of a five-county Ombudsman office and I as a Legal/ Financial Specialist within a global EAP we were confident in our phenomenal research capabilities and had a wealth of resources at our fingertips.
