ABOUT

Vivac Health

Vivac is a Spanish Word for "Bivouac" - A Temporary Shelter or Encampment for Soldiers or mountaineers

Family Caregivers often refer to a loved one with a chronic condition as "fighting a battle", "climbing a mountain", or "soldiering on." At Vivac Health, our tools and training can provide a safe place for family caregivers to find clarity, build a plan, and ensure their loved one gets the care they need—without sacrificing their own well-being.

Our Mission and Approach

At Vivac Health, we help family caregivers navigate the healthcare system, advocate for their loved ones, and take care of themselves in the process. We do this through our signature Care Map program and through individual and group consulting.

Our Founder

Sammie Stephens, MSN, AGNP-C

Adult-Geriatric Nurse Practitioner with a passion for helping family caregivers learn to navigate the healthcare system so they can get the care their loved one needs.

Hello!

I’m Sammie Stephens, a Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Vivac Health. I help working family caregivers feel confident managing their loved one’s care without stepping back from their career or burning out in the process. Many caregivers tell me they feel as if they’ve taken on a second job — coordinating doctors, medications, and care plans while trying to keep up with everything else in life.

Through Vivac Health’s CARE MAP™ model, I guide them through a structured, step-by-step process that brings clarity, confidence, and calm to caregiving.
After working with me, you’ll finally have a map for a journey you never expected to take.
