Five nurses at Carolina Caring have completed specialized training programs aimed at improving support for area patients coping with serious illnesses and memory disorders.
Nurses Michele Kincaid and Leslie Chapman completed the Evergreen Certified Dementia Care Specialist program. The training prepares clinicians to provide specialized educational resources and guidance to individuals and families navigating a dementia diagnosis.
Additionally, Kincaid and nurses Nancy Allen, Megan Costner, and Sherry Revis earned credentials through the Care Manager Certificate program. The nurses will apply the training to their work with local patients enrolled in Carolina Caring’s House Calls and Palliative Medicine programs.
“The Care Manager Certificate enhances my ability to provide individualized, patient-centered care that addresses each patient’s unique needs and goals,” said Kincaid. “Through proactive care coordination, patient advocacy, and effective resource utilization, I can help improve patient outcomes and reduce preventable hospitalizations.”
