Nursing Team

With over 19 years experience in hospital, convenient care, provider offices and home care, Krista loves to be that nurse who can make the difference. She finds it very rewarding to be a patient advocate, educator and compassionate care giver. In her free time she teaches skiing and loves dancing and walking with her pups.

Colleen is part of our Home Care and Hospice Nursing team with over 12 years experience in the field.  She has her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Vermont and her specialty at PBCH is with Hospice and Palliative Care. Everyday she is inspired; spending time with clients and their families.  Connecting and supporting people in their homes and throughout their journeys is a privilege and especially knowing that a smile or act of kindness from her can be the best medicine, is very rewarding.

With a Doctorate and Masters Degree in Nursing, Kelly joins PBCH as their Quality RN helping with Nursing leadership, Epidemiology, Population Health, Oncology and Hospice Education.  “When I was 15 years old, I decided to become a nurse when my father was on Hospice care at home.  I watched the nurses care for him and knew that was what I wanted to do when I grew up; care for people that were ill.  I became a nurse and never had a thought about doing anything else for more than 30 years.”
