As a Lynchburg native, Jenifer values the sense of community for our staff and our  clients.

Growing up in a small town outside of Lynchburg, Valerie often witnessed the kind neighborly gestures for one another. The desire to do the same in making a difference led her to pursue a career in nursing. She graduated from the old Lynchburg General School of Nursing and later went on to complete her Master’s in Nursing Education through University of Lynchburg.

Serving in the nursing profession for over 35 years in the local hospital and colleges, with a specialty in medical/surgical areas and nursing education, has brought Valerie many rewarding experiences. These experiences have touched her personally, which led her to become an active member of the ANA, VNA, DDNA, and the Alzheimer’s Association.

Valerie has one son who is currently working towards his Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering, and two furry kids that keep me busy. She volunteers at a local food bank, and enjoys nature walks and small trips to historical places.

Heather is a dedicated healthcare professional with over 34 years of experience in the field. Her passion for providing compassionate and personalized care is evident in her commitment to improving patient outcomes through effective collaboration and empathy. She truly believes that every life matters and works hard every day to make a positive impact. Outside of work, Heather enjoys walks by the lake, reading, and spending time with her family. She also finds joy in attending church to worship with her church family.
