  Catherine Conner, RN

  Registered Nurse

  A Birmingham native, Catherine earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Alabama—and got her start in home-based care with homeRN Birmingham as a caregiver while still in school. After graduating, she brought her skills to Nashville, joining the team at Vanderbilt University Medical Center on the Hematology and Oncology floor and earning her chemo certification along the way. Her love for meaningful patient care led her back to homeRN, where she joined the Nashville team—and now she's come full circle, returning to Birmingham to serve the community she's always called home.

  Catherine looks forward to helping provide comprehensive medical treatment that can bring patients and their families confidence in their health and well-being.
  
  Outside of nursing, Catherine enjoys yoga, crafting, and running. As the middle of two sisters, she loves to spend time with family and takes any opportunity to go snow skiing. Her passion for nursing comes from her deep understanding of the emotional burdens health challenges can bring. With homeRN, she looks forward to supporting patients and their loved ones daily as they navigate these burdens and reach their full potential.
