Nastasha Stitham

Nastasha graduated from Bowdoin College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology. After working in the clinical research department at Massachusetts General Hospital, she was inspired to pursue a career in nursing and was specifically interested in caring for terminally ill patients. She attended Boston College where she completed her Master of Science in Nursing. While at Boston College, she specialized in adult health with a focus on palliative care. She is an Advanced Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse.

In 2011, Nastasha started at Androscoggin Home Healthcare and Hospice (AHHH) as a new graduate. She was fortunate to receive extensive on-the-job training in hospice care and acute symptom management of critically ill patients. She has had the opportunity to see a broad continuum of care while at AHHH through her work to start a palliative care service at St. Mary’s Hospital, performing palliative consults in the community, and visiting hospice patients in their homes.
