Office News

Saddle Brook

We are happy to announce the promotion of our clinical team members Betsy Oduro, RN as Director of Nursing and Lashandra Williams, RN as Assistant Director of Nursing. Betsy and Lashandra have both been with Star for over 10 years and are excited to take the lead. Rachel Palmer RN, the previous Director of Nursing, will be transitioning from her role after many years due to a move out of state. CEO, Michelle Stengart took a moment to reflect on the years of service and hard work Rachel has committed to the Star Family. “It has been a true privilege watching Rachel grow within our Star family. Starting out as a field nurse over a decade ago, Rachel worked her way through various leadership positions, progressing from clinical manager to her current role as Saddle Brook’s Director of Nursing. We are sad to see Rachel go but are excited for her as she embarks on her next adventure out of state.” We also welcomed two new Clinical Managers this month, Jessica Ortega RN as Clinical Manager for the Middlesex area and Norma Encarnacion, RN as Clinical Manager for the Passaic area. Also, joining our Saddle Brook team is Deborah Sharp who will be taking over as Staffing Coordinator Manager. Wishing you all a warm welcome and a long lasting career as a member of our Star Family!

Mount Laurel

All offices are growing this quarter as we are also excited to announce the promotion of Jaqueline Gibson RN and Ashley Goldstein RN as part time Clinical Managers! Jackie and Ashley have both been with Star since 2015 and have countless hours of experience in the field and are a great addition to our clinical team. Additionally, we are sad to see the departure of our clinical manager Tiffany Hill RN as she steps away from a managing role to focus on family and continuing her education to receive her BSN. Our Vice President, Michelle Marano RN, BSN wanted to thank Tiffany for her years of dedication to Star Pediatrics. “We wish her all the best as she steps out of the clinical manager role. We have been very fortunate to have someone so loyal, caring, and kind and we will miss her so much. We had the honor to watch Tiffany grow, get married and have her first born gorgeous daughter. I, we, wish Tiffany nothing but the best and she will always have a place here at Star! She has shined with us for many, many years and this will not be good bye but good luck”. Thank you, Tiffany!

We are also excited to officially welcome our newest addition to the scheduling coordinating team, Kimberly Cutrona. Kim joined our Star family in April and has been a perfect fit to our team. Welcome Kim!

Home Care Conference & Golf 4 BOS Cause

This quarter, we attended and sponsored the Home Care & Hospice Association of New Jersey conference in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Every year we make an effort to be apart of this conference as it is vital to the growth and betterment of our company. With spokespeople from all over New Jersey, we get a glimpse of homecare through the eyes of other homecare professionals, especially during this nationwide nursing shortage. Presenters from various home care settings held many seminars to educate agencies, like us, on the importance of every aspect of home care, from the

nurse’s perspective to the medical data platforms being used across the country. CEO, Michelle Stengart and Human Resources Director Barbara Kenny, pictured to the left, representing our Star family at this years conference.

On Friday, June 16th, Star Pediatrics also sponsored an incredible cause that sits very close to our hearts. The Golf 4 BOS benefit, held at the RiverWinds golf course, is a fundraiser to create awareness for an extremely rare genetic syndrome call Bohring-Opitz Syndrome (BOS). BOS is so rare, there are less than 300 diagnosed case world wide. Our nurses and staff work closely with a family and child affected by this rare genetic syndrome. The BOS foundation is

dedicated to furthering medical research and assisting families affected by this ultra-rare genetic condition. For more information or to get involved, you can visit bos-foundation.org.
