Her recent work has been focused on management, training and education. In addition, she is a Clinical Professor teaching mental health and community health nursing as her way to remain involved in the education of future nurses and to be current in her specialty fields.

"I enjoyed working in nursing, but when I saw the toll the pandemic took on our seniors and their families, I realized I had an opportunity to help by focusing on in-home care. Home Helpers Home Care enables me to combine my passion for care with the need for a service that can provide high-quality care to the older adults in our community," Dr. Leegard said.
