Dr. Boe is enthusiastic and her mission is to provide the highest quality of patient-centered, integrated, and compassionate care as patients transition from acute hospitalization to the post-acute setting, restoring health and regaining independence whenever possible.

Dr. Boe is completing her Medical Director certification through the Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care, and continues to broader her knowledge and skills through continuing education programs through the American College of Physicians, The American Board of Internal Medicine, Society of Hospitalist medicine, and the American Medical Directors Association.
