Meet Nedra
Nedra’s father Abe participates in the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Nedra has been the primary family caregiver for her father through previous emergency admissions and regularly attends his appointments with him for support. She is always highly engaged and asks great questions. Even though there were some challenges during her father’s transition into the program, Nedra has always remained open to problem solving together. Ellen, a nurse educator, sees many qualities that would make Nedra an excellent candidate to be a Family Partner if she is interested. The next time Abe is in for an appointment, Ellen asks Nedra if she would be interested in learning about becoming a Patient and Family Partner, sharing some materials and asking if she would like to be connected to the Care Partnership Office.
