Elizabeth Collins

Beth (Elizabeth) Collins is an exemplary partner with the Sisters of Providence as our Nurse Navigator and Clinical Care Director. In her unique manner, she embodies our mission of love, mercy and justice.
She works with our Sisters who live independently but also is a consultant for our Sisters when they move to assisted living / skilled care. Beth recognizes the need for holistic health and delivers it from a faith-based perspective. Her own spiritual life and professional life as a hospice nurse guides her in the care she delivers to our sisters. She is resourceful and has a non-judgemental heart. Her care is not separated but rather addresses the individual’s need to be treated body, mind and spirit.
Beth goes above and beyond her day-to-day work with this ministry and responds after hours. She extends her service to the community at large.
In addition to meeting the needs of each day, she trains others who are dealing with cognitive issues. Beth is a Certified Dementia Care Facilitator. She is instrumental in establishing a Memory Cafe which is open to the public for loved ones and those living with cognitive change. This is both an education and support for families.
She is offering resources for those living with low vision. She collaborates with individuals, family members, and healthcare representatives with great compassion.
What is utmost in her delivery of care is quality of care that is inclusive of one’s wishes and belief system.
I can’t say enough how blessed we are to have Beth work with us and helps us to recognize the depth and power of the human spirit.
She is a testimony to the love of our Provident God who is able to journey with another in their most challenging times.
