After 35+ years in Nursing; Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Trauma, and now Geriatrics, my purpose for starting CURA started with my father.  I had the privilege of spending some of his final weeks at his bedside...just chatting about everything.  We shared many stories that I had never heard and I got to tell him things that I haven't shared with anyone else.  There is a comfort in knowing that you are heard and I will always cherish this precious time that we had together.  He made me promise that I would do for others what I did for him, and that was giving my expertise and compassion through the difficult aging life pathway.  He even came up with the name of my company...Compassion and Utmost Respect for the Aging.
