🌸 Meet Alicia Dixon, RN – Quality Assurance Coordinator at Southern Grace Hospice 🌸
Born in Baton Rouge and raised in the small town of Dupont, Louisiana, Alicia’s heart for helping others started early. She graduated from Avoyelles High and went on to earn her nursing degree from LSUA, beginning a lifelong journey of care and compassion.
In 2004, Alicia married her husband, West, and together they’ve built a beautiful life in Youngsville with their four wonderful children. West’s railroad career brought their family to the area, where Alicia continued to grow both personally and professionally.
Alicia began her nursing career at Opelousas General, where she worked for 13 years in Labor and Delivery — joyfully welcoming new life into the world. After feeling called in a new direction, she joined Grace Hospice as a case manager and later as a QA nurse. Her heart for the mission of hospice care only grew stronger. She then spent three years at IMC before being reunited with her original Grace Hospice family, where she now serves as the Quality Assurance Coordinator.
Her journey to hospice was guided by faith. After meeting Southern Grace Hospice’s COO at a women’s conference, Alicia felt called to be part of something meaningful. Transitioning from the joy of welcoming life to comforting those at the end of theirs was not easy — but it was divine purpose. Alicia discovered that hospice nursing was more than a job; it was a calling. It taught her to find beauty in every season of life and deepened her compassion for others.
Two years ago, Alicia faced one of her greatest challenges — a battle with breast cancer. Today, she stands as a survivor and living testimony that God still heals, still regenerates, and still performs miracles. Through her journey, she became a strong prayer warrior, often praying with patients, families, and her team.
Outside of work, Alicia finds joy in Bible study and journaling, helping her husband with his new business Name Brand Bag Co., and traveling with him to co****le tournaments where she proudly runs their booth. She treasures spending time with her family — and of course, her beloved dog, Graham.
Alicia’s faith, positivity, and radiant smile light up every room she walks into. She is cheerful, outgoing, and loves people deeply. When asked what she dreams of for the future, Alicia says she wants to travel more, one day have grandkids, live in a cozy cottage in the country, sip her coffee, and host her own women’s Bible study— continuing to share the love and light of Christ with others. ☕💖
