Carolyn Griffin, MSN, RN

Carolyn Griffin, MSN, RN, neurology nurse navigator is now supporting our neurology divisions, Movement Disorders, and Neuromuscular Medicine. She is a native of the Worcester area and loves all New England seasons, including winter. Her passion for nursing is inspired by her mother, who is also a nurse. Carolyn began her career as a Candy Striper at Fairlawn Hospital when it was a traditional medical-surgical hospital.  

Carolyn shares, “One of the best things about being a nurse is the ability to do many different things with your degree and I have had the pleasure of doing so. Integrating community support and education is a big part of my job, and I look forward to incorporating this skill as a neurology nurse navigator.”  

Carolyn has a strong interest in palliative care and participated in the Jewell Palliative Internship program last year. She plans to join the focus group working with the Executive Office of Elder Affairs as the E-POLST is rolled out in Massachusetts.   

When outside of the medical center, Carolyn enjoys working in her yard. Currently, she is landscaping a previously “overgrown area” to include a path and stone walls.   

When you see her, ask her about her progress.
