Nicole Wilson is the Director of Holton Community Hospital’s Home Health & Hospice which provides a full range of services to meet the needs of
our patients. We believe that caring for people in the comfort of their own home is the best place to be during an illness. We have over 60 years of experience and are proud to serve our community.
“We work to build good patient/clinician relationships. We try really hard to have the same nurse or therapist care for the patient on a routine basis, to not only develop a trusting relationship, but to ensure continuity of care. Our nurses and therapists treat patients as if they are their own family member which really gives that personal touch.” – Nicole Wilson, BSN, RN
