"I’ve always referred patients to hospice, and been an advocate of the program. But it wasn’t until a family member spent their last days at the Aroostook House of Comfort, that I realized what a truly special place it is. The staff, the atmosphere, and the attention to detail was truly inspiring. It was at that point that I knew I wanted to join the team and do my part to help patients and families through these most special and trying times in their journey."
