Greene

Kelly Greene started her “dream job” in October 2019 at St. Croix Hospice in Marshfield as a massage therapist, after working 20 years as an RN. Shortly after starting the job, the COVID-19 pandemic hit and Greene’s manager, Cindy Beyer, asked her to use her adeptness to step back into her nursing role as a case manager for the company.

In her new role as a hospice RN case manager, Kelly serves patients at private homes, assisted living facilities and, nursing homes, placing her on the front lines of caring for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic

While transitioning in her role, Kelly said she is “enjoying her interactions with her patients” and adds, “We always have a journey in our lives, and this seems to be the perfect journey for me, to transition into hospice.”
