Susan Cario, RN
Director of Nursing

Susan Cario, RN serves as Esperanza’s Director of Nursing. She has been a registered nurse since 1994, working in a variety of settings, from neonatal intensive care to pediatrics to geriatric care. She also has a background in psychiatric care. As owner/administrator of a home health agency, Cario monitored countless psychiatric home health visits performed by her staff.

In her role at Esperanza, Cario reviews patient records for completion and continuity and reviews medical policies and procedures, ensuring that protocols are being followed and that changes to protocols are implemented as required. She is also there to help problem solve and support Esperanza LVN Dessimber Daniels.

“I have been amazed by the depth and complexity of care provided at Esperanza. Eating disorder treatment is highly specialized and not an area in which most health care providers are trained. Having opportunities to positively impact patient care in this unique treatment setting makes this position a rewarding one for me.”
