Chip was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma in 2018 and had a kidney removed. In 2019 he found out that the cancer was not all contained, and had spread to multiple organs. He worked many hours through his illness and chemo until last November when he was advised not to work. He was on short term disability and then switched long term disability in June. In August his employment was terminated, and Chip lost his insurance. He will have to pay for COBRA insurance and an expensive premium to keep his life insurance.
Chip has an infectious smile that lights up any room. He has a kindness and gentleness that is so comforting and welcoming to others. Through all the pain and everything he has gone through, he has never complained. That's who Chip is. He has spent years taking care of the most vulnerable, it is our turn now to take care of him.
Chip and Jenn have 3 children, he started his first nursing job at Walls in Cleburne on the Med Surg Floor. He worked at Huguley in the Emergency Room. He also worked as a state surveyor and director of nursing at a nursing home. He went to work at Cook Children's in 2008 where he was a staff nurse, charge nurse and manager. He worked there until he was let go in August 2022.
