The Miramar Team

Stacey S. Tabor, CEO

Stacey entered the ‘.com’ industry in its infancy and excelled in a wide variety of tech, marketing, and business development disciplines over the years. Stacey decided to enter the healthcare industry as her passion grew to assist others on their journey to wellness when a family member was diagnosed with a health challenge.

Over the last seven years in the healthcare industry, she has perfected methods and protocols to navigate networks of doctors, nurses, caregivers, and expert resources. As time goes on, Stacey has also developed a deep understanding of what motivates, inspires, and supports not only a loved one but his/her family and support network. 

This professional experience, along with a watchful eye on her aging family’s evolving needs and the deep desire to assist them in maintaining their independence and quality of life, gives Stacey a hands-on sensitivity to the beautiful complexity and ever-changing dynamics of families facing health, aging and life challenges.

“When given respect and the right resources, I have seen families soar and thrive. Love can become the one constant and driving force for every decision.”
– Stacey Strouse Tabor

Franny K. Schmidt, COO

Franny returned home a week before her wedding. She was excited and happy, yet her father did not seem himself, was irritable and complained of reoccurring headaches. A week later, on her honeymoon, she received a call from her stepmother to learn that her father had a stroke and was also diagnosed with a brain tumor. Upon her return, she found the funny, brilliant, multi-lingual dad she knew as her close confident and friend, not able to speak or easily walk. The surgery they hoped would restore him, failed. Her stepmother had never expected anything like this to happen. Thus began the journey to hospice. Fortunately, an aunt, a long-experienced hospice nurse, gently guided her dad and the entire family along an end-of-life path that resulted in expressed love, support, and closure. The experience was etched on Franny’s heart and psyche.

Over many years in the tech industry, Franny would hear of colleagues struggling with finding the right doctors, caregivers, and services for their loved ones with Parkinson’s, surgeries, cancer, hip replacement and more. Once her children were a bit older, she realized that her search for making a difference in the world was somehow tied to her own realizations of her dad’s passing and the pain and frustration of others’ experiences. Franny and Stacey entered the healthcare industry together as business partners seven years ago.

“Life’s journey is sweet and bittersweet, yet the passion and drive to impact any one person and their family for the better, makes life’s journey more profound and meaningful for everyone involved.”
– Franny Kirchoff Schmidt

Emily H. Wright, RN

Emily is an award-winning skilled nurse having received The DAISY Award®, an international award given to exceptional nurses who have been nominated by their patients, while working as an Emergency Room nurse at Adventist Hospital in Parker, Colorado, in 2017. 

Emily realized her call to nursing early in life. During middle school her younger brother was diagnosed with a rare and serious stomach disorder. Sometimes waking up to find that her brother had been brought to ER during the night, she watched (and learned) how her family coped with the long, stressful illness. She realized invaluable lessons as he fully recovered under the care of medical specialists and trained caregivers. A cousin, who had just given birth and relied on the expertise of the birthing team, recognized undeniable nursing traits in her and unexpectedly commented, “Emily, you have the personality of a nurse!”. During high school, she found herself in the ER for a sports concussion and later for a cyst. She marveled at the ER staff’s skills and ability to understand and address her fears. Even though she was young, as she began to recognize her passion for nursing, science and biology took on a focused, more directed interest. During college, she worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant, and once she became a Skilled Nurse in 2016, she began her career as an ER (Emergency Room) Nurse.

Emily thrived in the quick, problem-solving scenario for 5 years before turning to home healthcare skilled nursing to satisfy her desire to give consistent, one-on-one attention to patients. As a wife and mother to young children, the phenomenon of the circle of life is in the forefront of her understanding of families and their importance, as she directs all aspects of skilled nursing for Miramar Healthcare.

“From an early age, I realized that I had an innate ability to put myself in others situations. Today, compassion is what drives me to assess, evaluate, improve, and solve the situations in which I find my my patients. I sincerely believe the body has the ability to heal and support itself when given the right physical, mental and emotional support. Medicine and science, when given a heart, inspires courage in a patient. Courage is powerful. It promotes hope and the ability to foster a healthy understanding and response to life! A peaceful smile on the face of a patient gives compelling meaning to my life at the end of the day.”
