HEARING WHAT PEOPLE REALLY WANT… "HEALING IS WHAT WE WANT FOR PEOPLE"

We cannot choose our own family but we certainly can choose the best person to work for our family. Whatever circumstances we're in, be it in the good side, or have turned for the worse, we can be sure that our own family will always be there to support us all the way, no matter what it takes. Indeed, a good family support system is one big push for one to pick up the pieces of a broken life and move on to lead a better life.

Nowadays, a family is not just defined as having a father, a mother, a brother and a sister in its usual setting. In fact, in this modern age, a family has evolved to become a cradle, one stronghold, in which one can find a sense of security and a feeling of belongingness, yet may not necessarily even be amongst blood relatives.

A Family Orientation is the strong factor that gives birth to Quality Care Provider (QCP).

Two great women - AMY QUESADA, QCP Executive Administrator and SIM PICAR, QCP Administrator/Manager, have known each other for years. They are two different individuals, yet they trekked the same track. Amy & Sim's diverse life experiences do not deter them from starting on a common ground and working on one common goal. Through a difficult test of time, both had been hands-on caregivers – who cared for their aging and sick parents. In the worst of times, these two prime movers have found the best opportunity to fulfill what may be their true callings.

Amy Quesada (Executive Administrator)
A Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education graduate and a certified medical assistant, Amy formed QCP with a strong family influence in mind. "This is my way of giving back the love and care that my parents have unselfishly given me and I'd like to share these, in turn, to those in need. I also intend to make use of QCP to share the love and care that can be made possible for anybody needing it most," she said. She grew up being loved unconditionally and utterly sheltered by her parents. Mostly through their great examples, her parents never faltered in teaching her the valuable lessons in life. This allowed her to appreciate the many things in life – be it in hard work or a major setback. Most importantly, the kind of love and protection that her parents have shown her made Amy embraced even more the strong bond between parents and their children.

Several years after her father passed away, her mother was at the age when she needed most care. As a breast cancer survivor, there were many other health issues she had to endure. Here is where she realized how costly it could be for the family involved but how priceless she could offer this all in the spirit of sharing and service – if only through QCP.

Amy is an RCFE (Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly) Administrator, licensed by the state of California, specializing in Elderly Care. With over 10 years of experience in Home Health, she has established a great sense of compassion and understanding that should go with aging. Being a teacher herself, she further learned the value of patience and compassion, the very lessons she ironically has learned instead from her students.

"The many variables in life would only lead us to one thing -- whether you are 18 or 81, everyone needs someone to lean on for support. I would like to share the love and care my parents instilled in me and through my service at QCP, I dedicate myself to providing quality care from our house to yours."

Sim Picar (Administrator/Manager)
Sim has worked as an AVP Branch Manager for a community bank in Sonoma County and has been in the finance profession for over 16 years.

"Amy and I have partnered to do this business. I'm the co-creator and avid supporter of QCP's mission. I have taken care of a sick loved one and that experience is indeed the best teacher."

Sim is also a licensed RCFE Administrator and at one point in her life, went through the hard times caring for a father who eventually died of colon cancer. Like most family caregivers, this had been hard and a painful task for her, considering the reality that when you care for somebody who is sick, living a normal life can be at times close to impossible.

For most of us, caring for our sick love ones will become an inevitable priority as well as earning an income to sustain such expensive care. Sim experienced how costly outside-facility care could be, so she simply took it upon herself to care for her sick father. "I know the difficulties and sentiments that go with caring, and at QCP I would like to turn these challenges into a life-saving grace to others who will be needing care." said Sim.

Stephanie Navalta (Administrator/RN, BSN Santa Clara County)
With her extensive knowledge on the available resources around the Bay Area counties, Stephanie stepped in recently to complete the fold as QCP's Administrator/RN, BSN for the Santa Clara County. Graduated from California State University, Fresno in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, she has mustered and excelled in different nursing specialties; hence, possessing a resume rich in experience and merit. Currently, she works as a high-risk obstetric nurse in an outpatient care in Santa Clara. For 14 years, she has had professional experience in varied specialties: in-patient and out-patient maternal-child and adult care, case management for a non-profit in community-based/public health practice and services for AIDS, and the chronically/terminally-ill population.

Promoting health is a priority not only in her nursing practice, but also in her personal life. "I know this may sound a bit cliché, but being healthy in mind, body and spirit is essential for every day living," she said. Inspiring not only her family members but also her friends, coworkers and even her children’s schoolmates, Stephanie along with her husband and two children keep a very active lifestyle - practicing martial arts, running, as well as participating in numerous races and marathons for charitable causes. Spreading the importance of health is a genuine belief that drives her motivations.

As a whole, contributing with high professionalism and true compassion to the community and society, Stephanie is a surplus to QCP. "My professional expertise and passion towards helping others are invaluable components that can contribute to providing care and resources for QCP patients on a universal scope."

With intangible characteristics of a natural leader and solid nursing foundation and expertise, Stephanie is confident of integrating optimum, comprehensive, and cost-effective care, services and support for QCP patients.

Dennis Navalta (Coordinator Santa Clara County)
Married to an RN and thus very well understands the aspects of patient-care, Dennis' professional background includes over 14 years experience in challenging roles in Finance and Accounting after receiving his Bachelors of Science in Accounting in 1993 from California State University, Fresno. His experience touch upon topics related to Global Business, Internal Controls, Quantitative Methods, Financial Statement Analysis and Information Systems. After recently worked for a Fortune 500 company for over 6 years, he now mainly focuses on roles that utilize his skills related to streamlining and automating internal processes.

“I am extremely excited to finally get a chance to put my diverse Finance background toward such a worthy cause. My goal is to keep our internal business processes as efficient as possible in order to provide the best quality care at the most affordable prices", says Dennis in joining QCP.

No doubt, gaining powerful insight into helping businesses through its challenging growth stage, his experiences and credentials can only lead to a fruitful future with his newest endeavor as QCP's Coordinator for Santa Clara County.
