Our Seeds of Partnership Continue to Bloom at Bickford Independent & Assisted Living

For over 43 years, UpliftedCare has been “Rooted” in this community providing compassionate and holistic palliative and hospice care to those with serious illnesses. The amazing partnerships we’ve formed with area care facilities have allowed our care to continue to bloom and for that we are truly grateful!

In October we set out on a mission to honor our partners and thank them for being an integral part of the UpliftedCare team by planting our “seeds” of partnership with a symbolic (and delicious) “Dirt Dessert Bar”! Those seeds have “bloomed” this November in honor of Hospice & Palliative Care Month and were so pleased to have the opportunity to celebrate their amazing staff with some beautiful floral bouquets!

Follow along all month as we highlight our partnering care facilities and the faces of those who continue to support our mission of Uplifting our communities!

Meet Our Team: Randy Hertzberg – Operations Manager

What keeps Randy rooted in this work is knowing the impact he has for those providing comfort and dignity to patients and their families in the final stages of their lives.

“Even though I don’t interact with patients myself, I take pride in making sure our staff has a safe, efficient, and well-equipped environment to do their work. On tough days, I remind myself that every system I fix, every process I improve, and every project I complete ultimately helps someone receive better care.” (Especially today - helping field and office staff navigate the internet outage so things continue to run seamlessly)!

Thank you, Randy, for being part of our team and Uplifting the communities we serve!
