Sun Health At Home is excited to welcome Michelle, one of the most recent additions to our Wellness Coordinator team. With more than 20 years of experience in both medical and social work, Michelle brings a deep understanding of care, compassion, and advocacy—qualities that align perfectly with the role she now fills for our members.
Helping others has always been at the heart of Michelle’s career. “A majority of my work has always been out meeting with people, helping them, and being that advocate for people who don’t have a voice for themselves,” she shared.
Michelle first became familiar with Sun Health through her former role at an organization that provides hospice care, where she often interacted with residents across Sun Health Communities, including those living with dementia. When she came across the Wellness Coordinator position, she felt an instant connection to Sun Health’s mission. The organization’s focus on empowering people to remain independent in their own homes resonated deeply with her background and passion.
She believes that meaningful support comes through compassion, empathy, and being truly present.
“Showing people that we’re here for them, whether it’s being physically present or really hearing what they need, is part of how we help people stay independent,” she said. “I look forward to being an advocate for our members and providing resources they need to stay in their homes.”
As a Wellness Coordinator, Michelle partners closely with members and their families, serving as a personal advocate to guide them through care coordination, resources, and planning. Wellness Coordinators conduct annual in-home assessments to evaluate safety, mobility, and overall well-being, but their support extends far beyond scheduled visits. They are available to members around the clock, providing peace of mind through every stage of aging.
Outside of work, Michelle enjoys hiking, traveling, and spending quality time with loved ones. Her mother-daughter days are especially meaningful, giving her a chance to slow down and connect.
