Amy Detwiler’s Biography Info:

Amy Detwiler was raised in Plainview, TX. She graduated from Plainview High School and went on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree from Wayland Baptist University in Plainview. Amy later became a licensed Social Worker and although she enjoyed working with a variety of populations in the health care field, she quickly learned that hospice was her passion. Amy and Robin, her husband of 25 years, relocated to Southeast Texas in 2000. The Beaumont area immediately felt like home to them. Both of their children graduated from Hardin-Jefferson High School. Her son, Saxton, and his wife, Katie, have one son, Lexon. Her daughter, Summer, is currently attending Lamar where she is majoring in biochemistry.

Although Amy started working in the health care field as a social worker, she was encouraged by one of her favorite mentors, Land Wall, to pursue a role in health care administration. Amy believes that providing fair, supportive administration empowers clinicians and health care teams to make the greatest impact in the lives of the people they serve. Amy truly finds pleasure in her professional calling and also enjoys cooking, family, and music.

LeAnn and Amy met at the church they attend. Although neither of the two were ‘looking for a best friend’, the two quickly realized that a higher power had another plan. These two women rapidly began to realize how much they shared in common: their love for the God they serve, their love for family, and their passion about administering quality care to patients in need of home health and hospice care. Since their initial meeting, their lives took many different turns, but once again they found their selves united in vision and surrendered to the call that was placed on their friendship. Both women strive to lead Professional Health Care Home Health and Hospice as the premier agency for which to work and from which to receive health care services.
