Ana Pineda, LVN

I have been at Hillsides for 25 plus years. I am the Director of Nursing: my team and I work together with our psychiatrist to provide guidance for our client’s mental health and well-being. We provide a variety of services to our clients which include- psychiatry services, medication management, client education, to name a few. I have enjoyed working here and being a part of helping our clients heal, grow, and thrive. I have always wanted to be a nurse and being able to help people has always been my goal. My family has always inspired me to work and do the best that I can in all that I do. I have always wanted to help our vulnerable population and be a part of the solution—helping clients strive to be the best they can be. When I think about Hillsides Cares, I think about advocating for our vulnerable youth and supporting them through difficult times. My passion comes from the opportunity to make a difference in our youth and seeing them leave our facility with more knowledge of themselves and how to cope with their challenges
