Center for Hospice Care Staff Spotlight: Tammy Huyvaert

Hi, I am Tammy Huyvaert, RN, Director of Quality and Compliance. I have been with Center for Hospice Care for 9 years, first as a Coordinator, then Assistant Director of Nursing, then when they realized my real talent was in making sure everything is done correctly, they promoted me to Director of Quality.

I have been working with end of life patients for over 30 years. First in ICU, then working for the local donor network, and now with Center for Hospice Care. My mother was on service and received exceptional care in our IPU which just cemented that I was in the right place.

I work with a great group of people who care intensely for our patients and our company. I used to live by the current building in Mishawaka and watched the administrative building being built. When taking walks with my husband, I would joke I was going to work there, and a few years later here I am! Even though I don’t work directly with patients anymore, there is nothing better in the world then helping make sure our staff, who do work with patients, have the support they need.

When I am not working you can find me reading on my IPAD or crafting. I love to craft things I can give away and even sell. My goal is to stay here until retirement!
