Congratulations to Kristy Kerley, EverTrue Director of Hospice and Palliative Care, who is one of the winners of the 2026 LeadingAge Missouri Change Makers Award!

The award recognizes individuals whose actions have created meaningful, positive changes within their organizations and communities.

Kristy leads EverTrue Hospice and EverTrue Palliative, both parts of EverTrue Anywhere Care, through compassion and innovation. The EverTrue Hospice program has experienced significant growth under her leadership, expanding access while elevating quality outcomes and family satisfaction, and her personal philosophy — meeting patients and families “where they are” — has become a guiding principle that ensures care is deeply personal and dignified. Kristy has been transformative, creating EverTrue Palliative Care after recognizing a critical gap between curative treatment and hospice services. The program serves more than 115 patients daily and her work has positioned the organization as a leader in integrated, patient-centered care. Kristy’s work uplifts teams, strengthens communities, and inspires a better future for aging services in Missouri.

Thank you, Kristy, for being a “Change Maker” and for demonstrating how a person’s commitment, compassion, and initiative can lead to larger changes.

For Mia Goff and Bethany Goff, Mother’s Day is a celebration of not just their mother-daughter connection, but also the impact they make every day as co-workers at EverTrue.

“Getting to see my daughter all the time and watching her grow in her work has been an unexpected and joyful part of my career journey,” says Bethany, Director of EverTrue Answers for EverTrue Anywhere Care.

“I became a CNA so I could work in the community where my aunt lived. And my mom being a social worker was a major influence. I guess it’s always been about family,” says Mia, an EverTrue Home Help Supervisor.

With roles that intersect in meaningful ways. they collaborate daily, creating a seamless experience for EverTrue clients so they can live life to the fullest with the support they need.

“I am so proud of the work she does,” Bethany said. “And I love getting to see and talk to her every day.”

Mia feels the same way. “My Mom has done so much for so many, and it inspires me,” she said. “Plus, I get to steal Mom’s snacks!”

This is a special day because mothers have a special place in our lives. Though it may not be said enough, we are grateful for all that moms do and for the love they give. Happy Mother’s Day, moms!

As part of our commitment to building healthy older adults communities through partnerships, EverTrue Rose Hill House welcomed University of Missouri-St. Louis nursing students to organize special activities, provide wellness checks and offer some fun and connection with their residents.

Our residents benefited from additional care, engagement and fellowship with the nursing students, while the future nurses experienced clinical education opportunities with aging populations and built their confidence in connecting with older adults through hands-on experience.

For its work with UMSL, EverTrue Rose Hill House was recently recognized by UMSL College of Nursing as an Outstanding Community-Based Clinical Education Site. Working with UMSL students was a pleasure and we look forward to continued partnership!
