Speaker Biography: Debbie earned her RN in the Brackenridge Hospital Nursing program – the old red brick building. Some may even remember it. After that, she went to work as a floor nurse at St. David’s Hospital and rose through the management ranks while earning her Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing. When she ventured into community nursing, Debbie remained at St. David’s parttime for a total of twenty years. It was her first love.

Providing advocacy in the community provided an education daily. Navigating the medical world while injured or elderly was typically challenging and often disastrous. This was a painful stage to observe but organically led to the foundation of CareFor in 2000. Based on the needs of individuals, the scope of practice evolved to four primary areas: professional care management, provision of caregivers, a guardianship program, and planning program. The planning program was put to pen and published as a two-part planning series (“Age Your Way” and “The Blueprint to Age Your Way”. The next step is to open a CareFor Hospice agency in 2025.

It's my hope that sharing lessons learned will lighten your burden and allow room for you to walk lightly into your own Blue Zone of Health.
