Helping people brings me joy. As a nurse for 20 years and a dedicated nurse leader today, I aim to inspire positive change in the healthcare system and elevate the quality of care provided to my patients, so families can receive the highest level of care and support they deserve.
Nice to meet you!
I’m Patricia Wong.
The seed of becoming a nurse and caring for people was planted in my heart at a very young age. I come from a family of healthcare providers—my father and brother are medical doctors and my mother is a retired nurse and a healthcare volunteer. I remember as a little girl, my father would proudly parade me around the hospital wings where he worked, introducing me to the nurses who all seemed to have deep respect for him. I saw the smiles on the nurses’ faces as they provided care and relieved discomfort for those in dire need. I knew I wanted to be a nurse!
Along my education journey, I earned an undergraduate degree in Economics from UC Berkeley. My time at Berkeley instilled in me a leadership mentality and prepared me to see needs and develop solutions with an innovative approach, and a determination to foster a greater impact in the community. This drive led me to pursue a career in Nursing and eventually received my graduate degree in Nursing from UCSF.
I’ve experienced tremendous joy throughout the past 20 years working in acute care, teaching, home health, hospice, and management. My passion for providing truly personalized in-home nursing support led to the founding of Emmanuel Nursing in 2021.
Healthcare should be about human connections, about taking time to listen and understand, and about providing personalized care that comes from the heart. With Emmanuel Nursing and my dedicated team of nurses, I hope to do just that.
My dream is to lead a team of passionate individuals who share a common goal of redefining the concept of caregiving. Together as a team, we will strive to provide personalized and compassionate nursing services that surpass traditional standards, thereby transforming the landscape of in-home healthcare.
With gratitude,
Patricia
