Brandon Oaks at Home since its creation
in 2016. However, she has truly shined for
the organization since the beginning of
COVID. Along with her normal job duties,
Marisa served as our medical sounding
board for resident and staff quarantine
guidelines, was on call seven days per
week for over a year to answer any and
all medical questions dealing with COVID
and all areas of campus including the
process of admitting new residents in
all care levels during COVID's peak. She
also would conduct home visits on behalf
of Brandon Oaks at Home when staffing
was short. We would not have made it
through the peak COVID times without
Marisa's guidance and expertise. "
