Creighton embodies that spirit, says Lisa Hunter, an HCSC clinical operations manager. “She does her absolute best every time she talks to a member,” Hunter says. “It impresses me how much she’s willing to go above and beyond and always being patient and positive.”
Besides Creighton, Hunter’s team includes other diabetes educators, as well as social workers and registered dietitians, who work together to help members manage their conditions, as well as help with non-medical issues that may prevent them from getting the care they need.
“They’re helping members tackle complex issues,” Hunter says. “I’m blown away every day by the work they do for our members.”
As the daughter of a parent with Type 1 diabetes, Creighton always knew she would become a medical professional. Before becoming a diabetes educator, she worked at an outpatient wound clinic helping treat patients with diabetes at risk of amputations.
