Susan believes that marrying both eastern and western medicine is the best way to achieve overall health and well-being. “My passion to start The Whole Health Way was ignited as a result of my own health issues. Creating my own care plan and advocating for myself was an enlightening experience. Through this process, I learned that I always had the tools and resources to find the answer that was right for me. It took me a long time to realize that it was okay, and even preferable, to be my own advocate in creating my healthcare plan—and to rely on both medical and non-medical treatments and practices to achieve the best results” as stated by Susan.

She attributes her success to knowing her life purpose and allowing it to be her drive, as well as always being authentic to herself. “As a student of western medicine, I understand and respect the value of traditional medical care. In my career, I’ve served patients with conditions such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s, and head trauma. I have helped cardiac rehab and pain management patients as well. Regardless of the condition or area of medicine, skilled nursing fills a vital role and I am grateful for the opportunity to provide a high quality of compassionate care for so many” as stated by Susan.
