The Full Story
Our founder and CEO, Doris Patterson-rodriguez, brings more than 30 years of rN expertise, enriched with invaluable hospice experience, and a deep-seated passion for offering care to those who need it the most. She has a wealth of expertise, compassion, and dedication to 32Heavenly Hands, shaped by her unique journey. The number '32' in our name is a tribute to the year Doris's mother was born, a woman who inspired Doris from a young age to devote her life to caring for others. As a young girl of just 10, Doris lovingly cared for her mother until she was 16, an experience that sparked a passion in her heart for nursing that she has carried forward ever since.
​
Doris infuses her faith into her work, treating every resident as a unique individual deserving of respect, care, and love. She is personable, compassionate, and deeply committed to her work. Her love for cardinals, inherited from her mother, is reflected in our logo, symbolizing hope, joy, health, rejuvenation, and celebration.
