Chantal Marie Gaston, RN, BSN, a case manager at Broward Health Coral Springs, knew early on that she wanted to join the healthcare field. Born in Haiti, Gaston came to the United States when she was 13 years old and enjoyed helping others from an early age.
“When you are a nurse, you know that you will touch a life, or a life will touch yours every day,” Gaston said.
After receiving her nursing degree, she began working as a medical surgical nurse and charge nurse before transitioning in 2013 to a case management role at Broward Health Coral Springs. For Gaston, the care she provides is also personal. “As a mother of a child with a life-threatening disease, I wanted the knowledge to care for her and the ability to help others in need,” Gaston said.
As a case manager, Gaston works to ensure a safe discharge for patients by providing home health services, transportation, transfers, and education.
