Crystal Fricano, MSN, RN, a case manager at Broward Health Medical Center, knew from an early age that she wanted to be in the healthcare field. She was inspired by the medical staff who cared for her father during his frequent visits to the hospital.
“The beautiful thing about nursing is that you can explore so many different avenues. I have found my passion in trauma case management,” Fricano said.
Fricano, who has been with Broward Health for eight years, enjoys comforting and guiding patients through the discharge process and showing them the next steps of their journey.
For Fricano, the care she provides is also personal. She lost both her brother and sister in separate tragic incidents. “People always remember the face and voice of who helped them through their most difficult times in life,” Fricano said. “I love my job. It is my passion and purpose in life.”
Fricano holds a master’s degree in nursing from Cardinal Stritch University. She also earned a certificate in extremities and biologics.
