Phil Gallinaro
Managing Partner & Administrator
My career began as a CNA (certified nurse assistant), where I met my beautiful wife of 31 years, while we were both employed at a care facility. Throughout this time, we raised our family of 8, and I worked my way up to LPN, RN, and completed the course of study for Family Nurse Practioner. Our family and taking care of our loved ones are the most important parts of our lives.
Of our eight children combined, I am proud to say five have chosen a career path in healthcare. At Sierra Hospice, we make a positive impact on others, and I am blessed knowing my children have the same servant mentality, strong work ethic and compassion as I do. From my oldest son Phillip who is a military veteran and holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology where he has helped hundreds of individuals and families during this difficult time. My second oldest son Joseph holds a degree in respiratory therapy and is our Director of Business Development. Joshua, my third son, is our RN Admission Nurse. Vanessa and my youngest son Isaiah are CNAs.
We have also worked extremely hard to hand pick the best in our industry to join our team. Integrity, a servant mentality, compassion, effective communication skills and teamwork have driven us to provide the best care for your family. We are all deeply passionate about end-of-life care (Hospice), and being involved in managing patients’ symptoms, providing education, disease progression, and expectations of facing a life limiting illness. I have learned and experienced so much about the hospice industry since I began in 1996. It was now time to take my experience and expertise to the profession to provide a higher level of care. We welcome you to Sierra Hospice & Palliative Care of Nevada, where we treat your family as ours!
