Our Founder: Ricontta Hills, RN
Founder | Lead Instructor | Advocate for Compassionate Care
With over 18 years of nursing experience, Ricontta Hills founded Gentle Hands of Integrity in 2017 with one mission: to teach students how to care for patients with respect, compassion and integrity.
“I want CNAs to care for patients as if they are family with gentle hands and a kind heart. Integrity means doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.” – Ricontta Hills, RN
Her philosophy is simple yet powerful: treat every patient with dignity, speak up against elder abuse and lead with heart, especially when no one is looking. Ricontta believes every student has the potential to make a lasting difference in the lives of those they serve.
