Kathleen Massengale, RN

A letter from a patient said, “No one is more deserving than Kathleen. She came to my home for my mother, who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Kathleen came regularly. She was always kind during each visit, ensuring my mother's comfort and patiently explaining every step of the process. My mother appreciated her so much that she would complain when a substitute was needed. I would laugh and let her know that sometimes Kathleen was entitled to a day off. When my mom liked you, she liked you. When my mother’s health started to decline, Kathleen became extremely proactive. She contacted all my mother’s providers and spoke with me in detail about her concerns. My mother died last month, and among my many cherished memories is Kathleen's compassionate care. She is truly an exceptional nurse.” Kathleen has been with VNA for a long time and has consistently advocated for her patients. She is always willing to help. Often, patients call asking for her to be their permanent nurse.
