“Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful.”
– L.R. Knost

Jennifer Woodcook, MSN, RN | Vice President
Hired: February 2012
I started working with eKidzCare in 2011 as a private duty nurse providing hourly shift care to a couple of our wonderful patients. I am extremely happy to say that those patients are still with us today! In 2012, I was offered an internal position with the company as an RN Supervisor. I was nervous to make a change and leave the hospital as a bedside nurse but something about eKidzCare and our pediatric patients drew me in and I had to see where this new adventure would take me. Throughout the years I have had the opportunity to continue to grow professionally with the company and have held various positions including Clinical Director, Administrator, and Regional Clinical Director. I have also seen a great amount of support by the company while I progressed through my schooling for first my BSN and then while obtaining my MSN with a focus on Administration and Leadership.
