A team member recently expressed gratitude for Jessica’s contributions: “Jess is always willing to help with any problem that occurs with either rearranging patient visits or making visits to see a patient.  No matter what day (including weekends!), she is there to help. Jess is a very dedicated employee and a compassionate nurse.”
