Melissa, one of our RN case managers has shared her what's your why. "I love working as a Hospice nurse because it allows me one on one time with my patients and their families. Having the opportunity to be a part of someone's last days/weeks or months is very special. There's no better feeling then knowing you were able to bring some joy, peace and comfort to a patient and family during this time. I can't imagine myself doing any other nursing." Thank you Missy! We are so proud to have you be a part of our team. You provide exceptional care and support to our patients and their families!
