Lisa Bailey
Lead Scheduler/Recruiter
I have been in the healthcare industry 20+ years. I absolutely love what I do. I took care of all of my family members who were sick and in need of care. Now, the greatest reward for me is knowing that when I go home for the day, I helped someone get excellent care for their loved one or added an awesome, experienced, and caring care assistant to our team.
