Meet Michele Prekker, RN, CHPN

Michele Prekker, RN, CHPN, is a registered nurse with Rice Hospice in Granite Falls.  She coordinates medical needs and provides end-of-life care for hospice patients.  “I love almost everything about being a nurse,” says Michele.  “I really like getting to know people and hearing their stories.  I also like the problem-solving aspect – thinking on my feet to come up with new solutions each time because every patient has different needs.

“No two days are the same.  Yet, every day I get to see the amazingly wonderful things people do to help each other.  I see so much heart and so many good people.  Being a hospice nurse is humbling.  It’s an incredible honor to be asked into someone’s life at a vulnerable time.  I have an extremely rewarding job.”

Michele is part of the Rice Hospice family that serves patients and their families the communities of Appleton, Benson, Dawson, Granite Falls, Montevideo, Ortonville/Graceville, Paynesville, and Willmar.  In addition to medical and psychosocial care, Rice Hospice staff and volunteers provide many complementary programs to patients and their families, such as pet therapy, massage and healing touch, music enjoyment, grief support, and sentimental journeys.  >> Learn more at http://www.ricehospice.com
