Expicare Nursing Agency
Excellence in Care Scholarship, 2020
The founding nurses of Expicare Nursing Agency did so with the goal of improving the lives of the elderly in their community through quality, affordable nursing care. Our extensive nursing experience and high standards of customer service have helped us to create and develop a team of dedicated nurse caregivers and one of the highest-rated companies in quality home, hospital, and hospice care.
We feel lucky to do the kind of work we do and appreciate the many different ways other healthcare and other kinds of caregiving professionals help people in their communities. We believe that the more people who are committed to taking care of those who need it, makes for better communities.
For this, we have created the Expicare Nursing Agency, Excellence in Care Scholarship, 2020, for a student who is committed to helping to meet the caregiving needs of those who need them. We want to support the education of a student who is committed to providing excellent care to others to help them achieve these goals.
