Hello! My name is Melissa Jones and I have been a resident of Fremont for over 40 years. Being the oldest of four children, I have always been a caregiver at heart. My interest in healthcare started when my mother became ill suddenly and I cared for her in and out of the hospital environment until her passing of cancer. In 1994 I was hired by Washington Hospital as a medical language specialist. I have transcribed numerous histories detailing patients' medical conditions and later was able to transcribe at home while raising my two children. After the children were grown and gone I wanted to expand my knowledge of the healthcare field directly into patient care so, being a lifelong learner, I went back to school to obtain my CNA (certified nursing assistant) license in 2016. I love caring for others in their homes. It is the best place for them to be and I want to take an active role in making that happen! Caregivers are "care giving" but I receive so much joy and satisfaction from knowing I am helping another person live comfortably.
