“Throughout my time as a nurse, I worked in intensive care. Some of my experiences with end of life while in the ICU made me realize that I would love to someday work with hospice; to have the opportunity to provide care with a goal of comfort and quality and to help patients and their family find some peace and healing throughout one of the toughest times of life. I did not expect to have the opportunity to work with hospice this early in my career, but I am so thankful to be here now. The past 6 months in hospice have shown me how incredible our team is and how blessed I am to be a part of this service to our community.”
