𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐈𝐝𝐚𝐡𝐨 𝟐𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐨, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲?
Two very wonderful aides who saw patients in the nursing home where I worked as a CNA told me I would be a great asset to HONI and that I should apply. So I did—and boy, am I the lucky one!

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐈 𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞?
Oh wow! Lots of changes have happened over the years within our organization, new staff, new positions, and new growth. I have to say I’ve worn many hats here.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞?
I love that no matter what position you have in this agency, you are helping patients and their family members. I truly love what this nonprofit organization stands for, and that everyone, truly everyone, plays their own part in helping our mission.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐈 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞?
I look at death differently now. I’ve seen it firsthand; it’s not about quantity, it’s about quality. We’ve seen some rare miracles, people who are admitted and ready to pass, and after a few months, they improve and come off hospice services. We do an amazing job, loving the families we have the privilege to care for as if they were our own.

𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐧 𝟐𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐈?
What makes me proud is how much we have grown over the years, including having our very own Hospice House, the Schneidmiller House. It is the ONLY one in the state of Idaho!

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐈?
My free time is all about family. I have eight children, some weren’t born to me, but they are still my children. My family has also blessed me with enough grandchildren to fill a football or basketball team, or even a small community! Grandbaby number 17 is on the way!

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧?
My favorite place to vacation is the wilderness. I’m a “glamper,” and I love being outdoors in the fresh air.

Congrats on 20 years, Becka! 🎉
