An appreciation of faith-based values is what drew Jaycie to OSF HealthCare. She began her journey in health care at age 16 when she worked at a nursing home. Since then she’s continued her education becoming a registered nurse, a nurse practitioner, and finally pursuing a specialty in psychiatry.
Her goal is to create an environment that feels safe and secure and fosters open communication.
