State of the Heart Hospice Care Center Staff

State of the Heart Care’s Hospice Care Center, located on the fourth floor of Wayne HealthCare has been providing care to patients since 2013. There may be times when a hospice patient cannot continue to receive care at home and our Hospice Care Center was created for those such times. The Care Center is designed for short-term care to manage acute symptoms, adjust medications, or to stabilize patients. At State of the Heart, we pride ourselves in living out the motto of “Care Without Limits.” As such, we commit to providing patients the services they need, where they need them and when they matter most. Two of our newest staff members in our Care Center are no exception.

Kristi Strawser joined the Care Center staff in November in her new role as Care Center Manager. Kristi had previously been an employee for State of the Heart and shared that she “missed being a hospice nurse and believes this is a great organization.” Kristi has a background in home health and long term care, has her BSN and is currently working towards MSN/MBA degree. Kristi lives in Greenville with her husband, Sean. She enjoys spending time with family and friends and taking part in the community. Kristi has a personal and professional passion for hospice and it shows in her dedication to her work.

Joining Kristi and our Care Center team also this year is Roxann Byram. Roxann is a STNA, Hospice Aide and also lives in Greenville. She has a degree in Social Work and has previous experience in health and long term care. Roxann enjoys reading, watching movies, and spending time with her 2 children, Kaley and Addison. Roxann has been a valuable addition to the Care Center Team.
