With deep appreciation, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Robert Wzorek of Good Shepherd Funeral Home for the many ways he continues to invest in and support the Nebraska Hospice and Palliative Care Association.
Robert’s involvement in this year’s Annual Conference was extraordinary — serving not only as a Strategic Partner of NHPCA, but also as a valued sponsor of our Tuesday luncheon, a participating vendor in the annual trade show, and a highly regarded faculty presenter for our attendees.
Partnerships like this bring tremendous value to our association because they go far beyond sponsorship. They create trusted relationships, strengthen interdisciplinary understanding, and open doors for education that directly benefits those caring for patients and families at end of life. Robert consistently shows up not simply to support an event, but to support our mission.
His educational sessions have become a conference favorite, and our attendees cannot say enough about how informative, insightful, and eye-opening his presentations are. As hospice professionals, we often work closely alongside funeral homes, yet Robert continues to shed light on aspects of the funeral industry many had never fully understood. His willingness to teach, explain processes, answer difficult questions, and provide practical perspective helps build stronger collaboration between hospice and funeral service — ultimately improving continuity of care for families during one of life’s most tender transitions.
What makes Robert especially appreciated is that he never stops at one presentation. He goes the extra mile to ensure questions are answered thoroughly, conversations continue after session close, and future topics requested by attendees are met with enthusiasm and generosity.
That kind of faithful partnership, responsiveness, and commitment to education is rare — and it does not go unnoticed.
Thank you, Robert, for the many hats you wear on behalf of NHPCA, for your unwavering support, and for the meaningful impact you continue to make on our members year after year. We appreciate you more than words can say!
