It wasn’t until Teresita found her way into home health before serendipitously discovering HSNT in 2013.

Reflecting on her initial attraction to HSNT, Teresita shares, "I had the opportunity to do a much more [at HSNT]. The agency where I was at couldn't offer further growth, so I Googled doctor's offices in Denton, and HSNT appeared. I reviewed the website, they were hiring, and I applied."

What has kept Teresita committed to HSNT for the past decade? It's the mission of helping the community and the satisfaction of making a difference. "Every day is different. I enjoy talking to patients, helping different people, and having the opportunity to see our patient’s health outcomes," she says.

Throughout her tenure, Teresita's role has evolved significantly, from a Medical Center Receptionist to a Patient Access Navigator to her current role as a Business Office Manager. Her resilience and dedication led to the successful establishment of a new site, highlighting her commitment to growth and development within the organization. It is obvious how much care and love she brings to HSNT.

Teresita finds joy in the diverse challenges her role presents. "Every day, I learn something. I enjoy working with providers, mid-office, BOM team, Leadership team and especially face-to-face with patients. Being a part of helping the community is the most fulfilling aspect of my job," she emphasizes.

When asked about her biggest hope for HSNT's future, Teresita envisions an expansion of services, particularly in dental care for adults. Her desire is rooted in addressing the community's needs more comprehensively, showcasing her dedication to the well-being of HSNT's patients. Teresita's journey embodies the spirit of HSNT – a commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. Her empathy, coaching approach, and dedication to continuous improvement have made her an indispensable asset to the HSNT family.

Her passion for helping people extends beyond the professional realm, as Teresita is a devoted wife and mother of three.
