Meet Christina Scalese
With over 14 years of diverse nursing experience, Christina Scalese brings both expertise and heart to the foundation of Boutique Nursing Services, LLC.
Christina began her career as a SWAT nurse within the UPMC health system, where she was deployed to Level I trauma centers across the region. In this fast-paced, high-stakes environment, she provided critical care to some of the most complex patients, learning to think quickly, stay composed under pressure, and deliver exceptional care in every circumstance.

Each care plan is tailored through a detailed medical assessment, ensuring patients receive the attention and support they deserve—right where they’re most comfortable.
