Myra Anderson, RN

Owner

With over 25 years of experience in the healthcare industry, Myra Anderson brings a wealth of knowledge and compassion to her role as the owner of EmpathyKare. She has worked in various clinical settings, from companion care and home health aide services to becoming a certified nurse assistant, licensed practical nurse, and now a registered nurse. Her deep understanding of patient care, combined with a passion for improving the lives of others, drives her commitment to providing the highest quality of home care services. Myra believes in personalized, hands-on care that not only meets the physical needs of her clients but also enhances their overall well-being and independence.


Myra’s "why" is deeply rooted in her upbringing and the values instilled in her from an early age—caring for others and always lending a helping hand. The turning point in her career came when her own sister faced significant changes in her mental and physical health, making Myra realize the importance of specialized care and support. Her mission now is to extend that same level of care and attention to every client at EmpathyKare, ensuring that each individual is treated like family, with dignity and respect at the forefront of every interaction.
