Our September is from our Hestia Stillwater agency in Missoula; Meet Chase Taylor.
“People often ask me how I got into hospice, and I always smile, because to me, it’s not just a job; it’s a calling. There’s something incredibly special about being able to support patients and families during one of life’s most meaningful transitions. It’s an honor, every single day.
One of my favorite parts of my role is doing intakes. I genuinely love meeting with patients and their families, helping them understand what hospice is (and what it isn’t!), why they qualify, and what they can expect moving forward. There’s often a sense of relief when people realize that hospice isn’t about giving up. It’s about focusing on comfort, dignity, and quality of life.
Working at Hestia – Stillwater just makes it all the more rewarding. We’re a close-knit team with a shared purpose: to bring peace, support, and compassion to every family we serve. Whether it’s answering questions, offering a listening ear, or just being present, it’s the little moments that make this work so meaningful.
At the end of the day, it’s about being there answering the hard questions, easing fears, and reminding families they’re not alone. It’s the little things, a reassuring voice, a warm smile, a moment of understanding... that makes all the difference. And that’s why I love what I do.”
Welcome to the Stillwater Hospice family, Chase!
