Meet The Team
Jessie Hazelwood, RN, BS, MHA (Founder)
Bluebird Local Nursing is owned and founded by Jessie Hazelwood, RN, BS, MHA, a compassionate healthcare leader with over twenty years of experience serving patients in the Austin area. Jessica's journey in healthcare began with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Evansville, followed by an Associate Degree in Nursing from Austin Community College, and a Master’s in Healthcare Administration from Bellevue University.
Jessie spent seven years in the ICU at South Austin Medical Center, where she honed her skills in critical care. She then transitioned to home health, home health management, and infusion nursing. Hailing from a strong tradition in healthcare, Jessie is a third-generation nurse who shares a healthcare career with physicians, social workers, and nurses on both sides of the family.
Falling in love with Austin in 2001, Jessie “got to Texas as quick as she could” from Indiana. An accomplished triathlete, Jessie shares her passion for sports, exercise, and the outdoors with her son and partner. Enjoying all this city has to offer, you can usually find her and the family running Town Lake or swimming at Barton Springs and Quarry Lake.
Lacie Galloway RN, Assistant Director
As a dedicated healthcare professional, Lacie brings a wealth of experience and passion to her role as a nurse. Her journey began at Trent University in Ontario, Canada, where she honed her skills and received a comprehensive education in nursing. With over a decade and a half of experience, she has proudly served as an ICU nurse, offering critical care and support to patients during some of their most challenging moments. Her time in the intensive care unit has equipped her with invaluable expertise in managing complex medical conditions and providing compassionate and expert care to those in need.
Prior to moving to Texas, Lacie worked in the remote regions of Nunavut, Canada. Her time there was spent working as an ICU nurse, Nurse Manager, and flight nurse. In this unique setting, she navigated the challenges of delivering healthcare in isolated communities, often facing harsh weather conditions and logistical hurdles.
Now residing in the vibrant city of Austin with her husband and two children, she cherishes the moments spent with her family. Outside of work, you can often find her exploring the great outdoors, indulging in her passion for hiking and swimming. She also has a deep appreciation for live music, enjoying the rich cultural scene that Austin has to offer.
