Ardent Healthcare would like to welcome the newest members of our team, Vincent Barry and Gurdish Sandhu-Kaler.
As Clinical Manager of MaximaCare Home Health, Vincent will oversee the team. With degrees from Fordham, Yale, and Columbia University in nursing, sociology, and theology, he represents a strong addition to the management team. For over 20 years he has served in various roles – psychiatric nurse, clinical director and administrator. He recognizes the issues facing our patients and their families. He excels helping to navigate the complicated healthcare system and getting specific patient needs addressed, be they physical, emotional, or spiritual. Vincent has recently relocated to Flower Mound, TX from the East Coast, and we welcome him to the community and to our team.
As Nurse Practitioner for Ardent Supportive Care, Gurdish will be the primary contact for patients in our palliative care division. She has 16 years’ experience in healthcare, with nine as a Family Nurse Practitioner. She is a native of north Texas. Gurdish truly has a heart for the elderly and understands that compassion is an essential ingredient for good care. She excels at providing information to her patients about their complex medical conditions. She feels that education is the key to compliance; well-informed patients have better outcomes. We know she will do great things for our supportive care patients.
Welcome, Vincent and Gurdish to the Ardent Healthcare family.
My name is Jimmie Stapleton. I am the founder and CEO of Ardent Healthcare. Ardent Healthcare includes Ardent Hospice, Ardent Supportive Care, MaximaCare Home Health and Ardent at Home.
Ardent Hospice was opened in 2007 to provide care and support for individuals and families facing a life limiting illness. It was established after my wife Ellen, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer, had completed her chemo and radiation therapies. At that time, things were looking positive, and we wanted to do something for our community that had been so supportive of our family during her treatments. Unfortunately, the cancer returned a few years later, and she subsequently passed away under our care in 2010.
In the years that followed, I began to see the need to provide the same level of excellent care to patients across the continuum of care. Therefore, we have added a home health division (MaximaCare Home Health), a palliative care division (Ardent Supportive Care), and a home care division, (Ardent at Home). With the addition of these divisions, we can meet most of the post-acute care needs for you and your family in your home.
I started Ardent Hospice with my wife as my motivation to provide exceptional care and support in the patient’s home, where they are surrounded by family and where they feel most comfortable. I’m proud to say that our staff provides some of the best in home care in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.
Please let us know if we can enrich the quality of life for you or a loved one.
Sincerely,
Jimmie Stapleton – Founder and CEO
