Holly’s eclectic clinical experience includes work with wound care, oncology, hospice care, and traumatic injuries in hospital and community based care. Her natural curiosity and desire to become involved in whole patient care led her to seek a position with AdvancedRM as a Case Manager in 2000. Her experience includes general and catastrophic cases in Workers’ Compensation and auto injuries. Holly has imparted her expertise not only in the state of Michigan, but throughout the United States and even internationally. Her work has spanned to remote locations such as Iraq and the Philippines. Oversight of remote cases presented unique challenges as extensive logistical support was required.
