How did I come to work at Compression Care?
Initially, I found myself working in this industry 6 months after being diagnosed with lymphedema. Ironically, that “JOB” led to a “CAREER”; educating and sharing my story with others. As much as I loved working with my previous employer, it left me praying for something different that would cultivate into my now “PASSION” for helping lymphedema patients. When that door closed, Compression Care’s door opened and I am truly grateful every day for the part I play within this wonderful team.

Hannah is a cat lover and data entry extraordinaire. After transplanting from Washington State to Texas, Hannah met an astounding feral cat problem and adopted 5 cats over the course of 2 years. When she isn’t working from home with her cat colony, she can be found walking outdoors amongst the foliage with her partner, Vin, and listening to audiobooks.

In 2020, I worked with a Durable Medical Equipment company where I eventually transferred to the head of the Compression Department. After moving states, I managed a local coffee shop until Rachel connected me with Josh about potentially joining the team. I met with Josh, had a great conversation about organization and data entry, and the rest was history!

“What brings me joy is…life. I think you can find joy anywhere in life, I think it’s a conscious choice. I think you choose joy and no matter how bad things are, no matter how crummy, no matter how dark – you find joy.
I don’t always do things right and I don’t always do things smart, but whatever I do, I find joy in it. Because at the end of the day, that’s all you got. It’s looking back on the joy you had, the joy you found, and the joy you gave other people.” -Clint McElroy
