Saying Yes When It Matters Most in Virginia Beach

Adoration Home Health

Adoration Home Health Account Executive Nick Horrigan has been Working Smart and Doing Good in Virginia Beach, VA. Recognized for the partnerships he has built across one of the region’s most important hospital networks, Nick reflects BrightSpring’s LEGACY value of Leadership, grounded in the kind of consistent, follow-through-driven relationship building that makes home health a trusted next step for patients leaving the hospital.

Across the Sentara network, a partner health system in Virginia and North Carolina, Nick has become the Adoration Home Health contact that hospital teams reach for when they need a partner who will pick up the phone and stay engaged. He has spent the year strengthening those relationships one conversation at a time — visiting facilities, listening to what discharge planners and case managers need, and making sure the Virginia Beach branch is set up to respond.

The result: when an oncology nurse called late on a Friday, running out of options for a cancer patient who needed home health services, Nick’s branch said yes. No other agency would take the patient. The patient went home with high-quality care, and the nurse — who needed to know her patient would be cared for — could finally exhale.

“When I am in the field having conversations and building relationships with case managers and other medical professionals, my priority is helping their patients…If it’s possible knowing that they trust our staff and rely on us for our services even in a small way, that adds a positive outcome,” said Nick.

That priority shapes everything. When a hospital partner refers a patient with confidence, that patient gets home faster, with home health support already coordinated and a care team ready to receive them. Families have less anxiety about the transition. Clinicians have the runway to do their best work. And hospital teams know they have a partner who will follow through — every patient, every time.

Congratulations, Nick. Your Leadership — grounded in genuine relationships, in saying yes when it matters most, and in keeping the patient at the center of every conversation — helps Virginia Beach families move through one of the most stressful moments of their lives with a care team waiting on the other side.

Work Smart. Do Good.
