Jeffrey Sowers has been in the healthcare industry, primarily geriatric focused, since 2007 and established a Practical Nursing License in 2013. Nursing quickly became a foundation to build on. Early years after acquiring his LPN License were spent absorbing whatever clinical knowledge he could while working at a skilled rehab center as well as home health nursing to bolster and focus that passion with clinical insight and knowledge. Years later he merged his long background in Business Management and Sales and launched into all facets of ancillary care that were focused on improving quality of life and overall, wellbeing for the senior community. Jeffrey (or Jeff as many know him by) has spent time in Home Health, Travel Nursing, Hospice Care, Rehab, Post-Op, Wound care, and Private Duty.
