Touching Hearts at Home
Julie Elkjer has worked in the medical profession and education field for over thirty years. As a Respiratory Therapist, she consulted to hospitals assisting with the development of new programs and quality management, developed and coordinated an infant apnea program and consulted to skilled nursing facilities. She has always been drawn to education and decided to pursue her education degree, followed by a Master of Arts. In 2008 she started Touching Hearts at Home; it has always been a desire of hers to assist individuals and their families. She feels that Touching Hearts has allowed her to follow her two passions through educating and assisting individuals and families.
