After a couple of years, she received a promotion to Assistant Director of Nursing and then Director of Nursing. She was responsible for managing and overseeing all areas within the nursing department. Her primary focus was on promoting patient-specific care with an emphasis on improving patient outcomes. She then moved on to work in the acute hospital setting, where she specialized in trauma and orthopedic care. During this time, she cared for patients with co-occurring psychiatric illnesses. Sara identified a need for providers with specialized training in diagnosing and treating psychiatric diseases.
