Program Director, MS Health Science
Administration
AseraCare Home Health
Debra Vine has been the Program Director for Aegis @ Home and
Aseracare Care Home Health since 2008. Prior to that, from 2006 to
2008, she was a Rehab Program Coordinator with Aegis @ Home. In her
current role, her duties include: program leadership; overseeing
staffing, hiring and new-hire orientation; payroll management,
budget management, clinical leadership, and quality assurance and
audits. Additionally, she serves as a liaison between her area’s
AseraCare Home Health agency and the medical community it
serves.
She prides herself on putting her customers first. “If you can
do just one small thing extra to make it a better day for that
person,” says Debra, “it is a key component in their satisfaction
and to our success.”
Debra’s favorite elements of her job include mentoring staff and
providing education to patients on the rehabilitative process and
their role in their own success. She feels team collaboration by
the staff is vital to the progress of the program.
“Once, I worked with a retired professional who regularly used
her hands in her career,” says Debra. “She was slowing declining in
her upper body motor functions. She was very happy to have help
modifying her hand projects with adaptive methods so she could
continue to make things for her family.”
