Bittersweet Ending, Exciting Beginning!

March 16

A couple months ago I started an extremely difficult process- saying goodbye to my patients!  You never realize how important the people and interactions in your life are until they are promised to be short-lived.  It was far more emotional than I imagined it being, for both me and for my patients!  For many of these people, I am their solid ground; a rock in the turbulent waters of their healthcare journey, answering their questions fully, with a knowledgeable mind, and making sure that they are well cared for.  Sometimes it’s as simple as dedicated follow through, which is hard to find in healthcare these days!  What struck me, though, was that many patients cannot afford a concierge nursing rate.  We needed a solution.  When dreaming up Ally RN, I had a long-term, five-year goal of creating a non-profit organization that provided the same care to low and no-income individuals.  But looking into the eyes and hearts of my patients, knowing they felt a little lost without me, really emphasized the importance of accelerating this goal!

So, we are working it out.  And we’re getting there!  We are so excited to potentially offer these services within 2 years of Ally RN’s launch, and sooner if supporters make it happen.

Meanwhile, we are in the process of acquiring state licensure (snooze), and writing all of our policies and procedures (double snooze!), which will help to streamline processes for patients and ensure patient safety, which is important, because it’s all about YOU!

Thank you for reading this blog.  Thank you for visiting our site.  Please bear with us while we get ourselves up and running, and reach out to us anytime with questions!  We can’t wait to hear YOUR story.  We can’t wait to be YOUR rock.
