Meet the Team

Sam-Dietz-Leaves-Director-of-Operations

Sam Dietz – Director of Operations. Sam has been with leaves since October 2020. He came to us directly from an orthopedics unit at Butterworth Hospital where he cared for patients as a Nurse Technician. Since he attended Cornerstone University at the same time he worked at Butterworth, he also has a bachelor’s degree in business. Sam and his wife Margie, a nurse, both share a passion for healthcare. They also share three incredible sons. His favorite part about working for Leaves is his interaction with our caregivers- “I am always humbled at the level of compassion our caregivers provide on a regular basis. They are truly high caliber individuals.”

Jill-Leaves-Scheduling-Coordinator

Jill – Scheduling Coordinator. Jill began in March of 2020, just as Covid 19 broke out. Before that, she spent 18 years working for Innovative Research which was first owned by Gerber and now by Nestle. She married the love of her life, Mark, 38 years ago which resulted in 2 wonderful children – a daughter and a son.  Her children then blessed her with 3 amazing grandchildren and one more on the way. Jill’s favorite part about working at Leaves is working for a company that puts God above everything else.
