Lisa Culligan
Hello there, my name is Lisa Culligan and I am from Lighthouse hospice and palliative care. I’ve been a nurse for over forty years, and never ever have I had as much fulfillment as I do helping people with this position. We are one of Duly Health and Care’s preferred providers. As well as partners and preferred providers in over 20 facilities. My favorite part about my position? Is all of the training and the education that helps both families, and staff to navigate through a very stressful situation, making it far less painful. I’m happy to provide you with more information!! As I tell people, hospice is so much further from your mind from what it used to be! We focus on quality of life!! And many times, just helping someone manage. Their symptoms helps them to live not only happier but a little bit longer!!
