Our Dawn Miranda, Prosthetist Assistant and Marketing Assistant, is leaving us! Dawn, who joined the Dankmeyer team a little over two years ago, came to us when her family moved here from San Antonio. In San Antonio, she served in a similar position for a prosthetics and orthotics practice there, shortly after becoming an amputee herself.
Dawn wasn’t always in prosthetics and orthotics. Dawn spent a number of years in nursing, working for various facilities in both a nursing and administrative capacity. She spent time in rehabilitation, as well as being the caregiver for her elderly parents for several years. During this time, and while she fought cancer, Dawn put her business administration education on hold to take care of her family and her health.
The COVID-19 virus and public health emergency’s need for qualified clinical providers in nursing and other fields created a pull that Dawn felt to return to her nursing roots. Combined with a desire to finish her education, this calling has led Dawn to decide upon a new course for her life, which means leaving Dankmeyer.
We are very sorry to see her go. Her warmth and joy have been an inspiration to our Dankmeyer staff and all the patients she has touched. We hope that she will be able to continue to blog for us in her Dawn’s Blog. We wish her the best of luck, health and happiness!
