AdvantageYOU HCS & Joyful by Grace 〰️
I am a licensed Physical Therapist and Healthcare Consultant owner of AdvantageYOU HCS, LLC. I am the VP of Quality, Rehab and Wound Care Services for Nexion Health, with 30+ years of experience advancing quality, rehabilitation, wound care, and clinical integration across skilled nursing, long-term care, assisted living, and pediatric post-acute settings. I focus on transforming clinical and operational practice through education, innovation, and quality excellence.
Across my career—clinician, strategist, educator, consultant, and executive—I remain committed to elevating care, strengthening teams, advocating for our industry, and shaping the future of post-acute and long-term care through evidence-based practice and compassionate leadership.
My creative side includes being a published author, writer and producer of music available to stream under the artist Joyful By Grace, and future podcaster.
