Jamie L. LaLonde

Jamie LaLonde, MSW ’14, developed a passion for healthcare and geriatrics during an internship at U-M’s Turner Senior Resource Center.  For the past 20 years, she has used that passion to serve in roles within nursing home, assisted living, memory care and hospice spaces where she strives to support patients, families and caregivers find satisfaction and joy.  She holds several certifications in dementia education and loves to support people in caregiving relationships to find success through education and outreach. LaLonde has a special interest in organizational planning and program development that led to her various roles in leadership and administration. In addition to her primary role as executive director at Angela Hospice in Livonia, Michigan, she also spends time on various committees through Leading Age Michigan and the Michigan HomeCare and Hospice Association to further progress in residential services for older adults and those needing palliative care or hospice services.
