With genuine care and interest, Selena Blackburn works hard 5 days a week to meet her patient’s needs. With her LPN (licensed practical nurse) from Purdue University in Indiana and her Associate's Degree from Lower Columbia College in Longview, WA, Blackburn works at Community Home Health and Hospice.
Blackburn worked in the emergency room at St. John’s Medical Center in Longview, WA and she currently works at Community Home Health and Hospice in Longview, WA and is a RN who makes house calls to patients who cannot get to the hospital. She also delivers prescriptions and examines the patients. "My mom is one of the most caring and generous people I have ever known. She has the biggest heart and is really passionate about her job" says daughter Heather Blackburn.
While on a house call with Blackburn, I discovered this genuine care she has for her patients. It wasn’t like she just went in, did what she had to do, and left. She spent time examining and asking questions about how they were feeling and if they needed anything specifically. “Selena has always been a sweetheart. She has been seeing me since 2003 and I love her. I’m getting up there in age and it’s nice to know that she isn’t just doing her job, but she is actually concerned with my health” says a patient.
Blackburn was born on April 15 in Columbus, Montana to Dennis and Louise Chism. She grew up with two younger brothers, Nathan and Phil. “I never lived more than two years in one state growing up” she recalls. “I’ve lived in Arizona, Colorado, California, New York, Oregon, and Washington.”
Blackburn has been married to a man named Sean since June of ’93 and has four children; ages 9, 12, 19, and 23. “Selena is a wonderful woman and I am truly blessed to have the pleasure of being married to her” says husband of 16 years, Sean Blackburn.
She enjoys reading, writing, scrap booking and camping along with many other activities. She also really enjoys country and 80’s music along with watching "Gilmore Girls", "ER", "Grey’s Anatomy", "CSI", "Law and Order", "Bones" and "Criminal Minds".
