When her mother and mother-in-law both experienced serious health problems, Vikki Dargenio looked for a medical professional who could help them through the complex and often confusing maze of specialists, doctor appointments and treatment options.
When she couldn’t find anyone locally who provided the service outside of a healthcare setting, Dargenio ended up giving up her full-time nursing career to use her medical experience and expertise to care for her family members.
In the process, the Lower Makefield woman says she found a largely untapped niche in health care services.
Enter her new business, A Nurse in the Family, which provides patient transportation, advocacy and medical guidance services to older adults and their families.
