ROCHELLE VALLIER HONORED AMONG NATION’S TOP 50 NURSES
R
ochelle Vallier, a Registered Nurse from our Lafayette, La. agency, has been chosen as one of the Top 50 Home Care and Hospice Nurses in the nation by the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC). To coincide with National Nurses Week in May, NAHC launched a campaign asking its 33,000 members, affiliated associations and the American public to help choose a top hospice and
home care nurse from every state. The program celebrates nurses who distinguish themselves by the size of their hearts, by their professionalism and by their work ethic. Synergy Home Care proudly nominated Rochelle, who has been a nurse with the company for more than 10 years. Her entry was evaluated by NAHC, and then she was selected by a committee of experts to represent the state of Louisiana.
“We are pleased to celebrate Rochelle as a distinguished professional in the field of nursing,” explained Monica Rougeau, Regional Administrator at Synergy Home Care. “We are proud of her and the way she gives of herself to care for patients like they are extended family. Nurses like Rochelle inspire us all!” America’s Top 50 Home Care and Hospice Nurses, including Rochelle, were profiled in the May, 2012 edition of CARING, NAHC’s monthly magazine.
