Blacksburg – Warm Hearth Village recently hired Jennifer Akers as the new Director of Nursing for the Kroontje Health Care Center.
Akers earned her Associate of Science Degree in Nursing in 2015 from ITT Technical School in Salem while working as a certified nursing assistant. She became a Registered Nurse (RN) in 2016.
Akers came to Warm Hearth from Medical Facilities of America (MFA) Pulaski Health and Rehabilitation Center where she was the Director of Nursing. Previously she was the Assistant Director of Nursing at the MFA Salem Health and Rehabilitation Center.
As Director of Nursing, she serves residents’ needs on all levels and is committed to continuously learning new nursing processes she can share with the staff. “Warm Hearth is unlike any senior community I have ever experienced.
