Why I Care: Leslie Ruffner, Administrator

Posted on:

Everyone at Dulles Health & Rehab Center is rooted in the collective desire to offer the highest quality care to our patients and residents.  Our goal is to make a difference in their lives.  We’re dedicated to the care and recovery of our patients and residents. From skilled nurses to responsive maintenance workers, Dulles Health & Rehab Center understands the value of the human touch.

Through the AHCA #WhyICare campaign, we’ll be introducing you to our team members and what inspires them to work at a long term care facility.  In our first spotlight, we want to introduce you to Leslie Ruffner, Administrator at Dulles Health & Rehab Center.


When I think about the care we give, and the patients we serve, I am reminded of the stories.  The reason why I care about what we do is that it goes far beyond the physical body healing.

Why I Care

Recently, we had a patient that transferred to us after multiple stays at hospitals and a short stay at a Long Term Acute Care hospital. He’s been married for 63 years to his adoring wife, who suffers from her health issues.  After 90+ days with us, we were able to discharge him back to the assisted living reunited with the love of his life.  The true mission of our work is to leave people better then we found them. 

That’s Why I Care!
