Jackie Messer

Our bubbly Jackie Messer joined our crew in February. Jackie brings an array of talents to Compassionate Care. Her natural social skills, personality and giggle is a light in many of our patients lives. She is certified in Phlebotomy and STNA. From the moment Jackie walked in the door, I knew she was perfect for this position. She is easy to talk to, approachable and her positive personality creates a fantastic environment for staff and patients.

Jackie has 2 beautiful children who are heavily involved in 4-H, so she spends a great deal of her time helping with 4-H projects. She also enjoys hunting, reading and family time. She is an active member of First United Methodist Church and has recently joined many mentoring groups within the church family. Her future goal is to grow stronger in her faith with God. We are beyond lucky to have this smile on our Compassionate Care Team and I cant wait to see what her future holds.
