Testimonials
Meet the Hoag at Home Care Team
Erica Golden, F.N.P.
Compassionate. This one word captures Erica’s drive and motivation to serve as a family nurse practitioner with
the Hoag at Home Postpartum + program. Erica spent the last six years as a labor and delivery nurse at Hoag and
now she is a new mom and truly understands the joy of parenthood. She is thrilled to serve as a resource for her
patients during this special time as they transition from care in the hospital to care in the home.
As she states, “The thought of being able to help make a difference in the lives of others is something that has always come naturally to me. Since I began my career, I have always had a passion in the field of maternal child health and I decided to join this program because I feel that there is a need for postpartum and newborn care in our community.”
Erica attended nursing school at San Diego State University and went on to receive her Master’s degree
as a Family Nurse Practitioner from California State University, Long Beach.
