Kimberly has spent the past 11 years dedicated to hospice care, beginning her career as an RNCM before advancing into leadership roles. Her journey has been incredibly fulfilling, fueled by a deep passion for leading a group of like-minded individuals committed to providing exceptional end-of-life care. Kimberly deeply values the trust patients and their families place on the Silverado hospice team and considers it a true honor to bring them comfort and support during such a challenging time.

Driven by her passion for caregiving, Kimberly opened a 10-bed assisted living home in Phoenix, where she worked alongside a team of dedicated caregivers.

Marie brings over 30 years of human resources, compliance and office management experience to the Silverado Hospice team. She earned the honor of being the first Silverado associate to be promoted to the title of Senior BOM and is now the Regional Business Office Manager for both the North and South Houston team.

Brenda graduated from nursing school and worked in acute care and hospice GIP for several years at UCLA medical center, where she gained vast experience rotating to many areas, including oncology and bone marrow transplant.

When Brenda’s 13-year-old daughter suffered a traumatic brain injury, she became a full-time caregiver and stay-at-home nurse. During this 10-year hiatus from clinical nursing, she became a nurse, caregiver and passionate advocate for several loved ones. Brenda later resumed her career as a hospice RN and now manages cases at Silverado. Her personal experience with significant loss allows her to deeply empathize with hospice patients and their families.

“I am a fierce advocate for my patients, and I believe with all of my heart and soul in providing them with the best possible experience at end of life, not in ‘dying’ but in ‘living the best, most comfortable finish to their life,'” shares Brenda.
