Dayna Edwards is Continuum’s Administrator. Dayna has been with Continuum since 1995 in a variety of capacities, and in fact was with the company even before it became the Continuum we know today! Prior to her tenure with Continuum, Dayna spent many years serving in other areas of the health care arena. She has worked as a staffing coordinator at a variety of agencies throughout the area and knows all too well the critical role nurse recruitment and staffing plays in successful homecare placement. She also gained extensive experience in operations as well as finance, rising to Director of Finance at a major skilled nursing facility in Arlington. In fact, Dayna is a Washington area native, having grown up in Arlington as well. Dayna now resides in McLean – about two minutes from our offices - with her husband and son.

Lisa Kaintoch is Continuum’s Assistant Director of Nursing.

She is a NICU nurse with over 10 years of experience in the field. During five of Lisa’s eight years at National Naval Medical Center she functioned as the NICU discharge planner.

Robin Vick is Continuum’s Assistant Director of Nursing. Robin received her Bachelors of Science in Nursing from Duke University and has been a nurse for most of her professional life, always enjoying a work environment that is centered around health and the human body. She is also an artist, and she finds that her dual interests in science and the arts have given her a unique perspective on the internal as well as the physical attributes of her patients. For many years she worked in large medical centers because she liked the fact that learning was a big part of the environment in teaching hospitals. Over time she grew to specialize in neonatal intensive and special care, always working within the framework of maternal/child health and development. She eventually got her Masters degree in Health Science/Health Administration. Robin’s family includes her husband, Michael, and their son, Matthew. They recently moved back to the United States after having had the incredible experience of living in Russia, England and France. Robin has been with Continuum since early 2006.

Debbie Ortiz is Continuum’s Director of Staffing – day in and day out the hub of activity here at our main office. Debbie has been with Continuum for over four years, during which time she has recruited and worked with hundreds of nurses and served as the critical link between those nurses and the families we serve. Born and raised in Northern Virginia (she lives in Woodbridge with her adorable son), Debbie has worked in healthcare her entire career, first in physician’s offices, and then later in a large family health center. Debbie loves the challenge of her important role here, and the fact that we consistently exceed all industry benchmarks for filled shifts is a testament to her success – although she is never satisfied with less than 100%!
