RN Case Manager
Terri Stewart
Terri Stewart
RN Case Manager
Terri joined Silverado Hospice in 2012, bringing with her a wealth of experience accumulated from years spent as a hospital nurse in various departments including Med Surg, Telemetry, ER, complex skilled nursing, and inpatient aggressive cancer care.
Upon entering her role at Silverado Hospice and connecting with fellow associates, Terri immediately knew she had found her rightful place. Having endured the premature deaths of two family members, she is familiar with the pain and loneliness of losing a loved one. At only 30 years old, Terri’s husband was killed in a boating accident. A few years later, her mother passed away from a sudden heart attack resulting from an undetected birth defect. Drawing from the support and compassion provided by her loved ones throughout these unprecedented times, Terri channels her experiences into delivering empathetic end-of-life care to our patients.
“I bring this same support and compassion to your loved one knowing all too well that when a person walks out the door in the morning they may never return,” shares Terri.
