Claudia Wenger, BSN, RN, enjoyed a 16-year nursing career, working in a variety of healthcare settings, before becoming a case manager at Broward Health Imperial Point in 2006 to experience a different role with patients and families.

In her current role, she assists patients and family members in the hospital setting, guiding them through discharge planning and referring them to community resources as needed. She also participates in utilization reviews, employs investigative nursing skills to review medical records and provides relevant clinic information to hospital patients’ insurance companies.

Wenger advises others considering a career in case management to gain experience in the field first. “Hands-on nursing is a good foundation, and you can explore case management when you want a new experience,” Wenger said.

Wenger is a native Floridian born at Broward General, now known as Broward Health Medical Center.
