She was a certified Cardiovascular Registered Nurse and was currently working in Medical Informatics at Flagler Hospital, as a Clinical Informatics Specialist/ENR Physician Support. Most notable in her 30 year career at Flagler are the multitude of friends, associates, and students that she mentored to better nursing, adopted as her kids and invested her life into them; her involvement and work in bringing the hospital to full magnet certification and status, and the transition of the hospital from paper charting to MediTech electronic documentation.
