Care Dimensions volunteer Trish Cannon, who visits patients in long-term care facilities throughout the community, shares how a transformative experience abroad—and the expert end-of-life care her own parents received from Care Dimensions—inspired her to begin volunteering.

Trish joined Lorinda Marshall, Manager of Volunteer Services, on a recent episode of Timing is Everything with host Mary Crowe, Director of Professional and Community Education, to discuss the meaningful companionship and support volunteers provided to patients and families.

More than 10 years ago, a visit to the Kaplan Family Hospice House—and a meaningful encounter with one of our pet therapy dogs—inspired Lee Nordblom, co-managing trustee of the Nordblom Family Foundation. That moment sparked a decade of generosity and support for complementary therapies programming.

“The way that complementary therapies address the holistic needs of each patient, as well as their families, can become a bonding experience for everyone involved,” co-managing trustee Greta Nordblom. “It’s amazing to walk into the Kaplan House, feel the calmness and serenity, and know you’re in the hands of experts.”

We are deeply grateful for 10 years of partnership and for the Nordblom family’s commitment to care that brings comfort, dignity, and connection during such a difficult time.

The Nordbloms’ story was featured in our Fall 2025 Connections newsletter, which can be viewed online at: bit.ly/ConnectionsFall2025

In this season of gratitude, we’re especially thankful to welcome so many incredible new team members — including those who joined us this November!

This talented group of nurses, an RN Case Manager, a Practice Manager, an Administrative Assistant, and a Social Worker is already making a meaningful impact on our mission.

Outside of work, they bring a vibrant mix of interests and passions — from collecting sea glass and enjoying days at the beach to running, cooking, traveling, leading Girl Scout troops, and even barbering!

To help you get to know them better, some of our new hires shared:
• Their previous professional experience
• A fun fact or two about themselves
• Why they chose to join Care Dimensions

November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, and this year’s theme, “We See the Whole You,” reminds us why your support matters: it helps our teams bring compassionate, expert care to every patient and family we serve.

Thank you for being part of our community and for helping us honor the whole person, every day.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Care Dimensions!

Christine Reichert and Nancy Brown shared a 25-year love story rooted in literature, adventure, and joy. When serious illnesses began to change their lives, they turned to Care Dimensions for support that helped them keep living fully—and most importantly, to stay together.

From coordinated palliative care that helped them remain independent, to hospice support that brought comfort and connection during Nancy’s final months, Christine reflects:
"Those were our most glorious times because we just didn't have to run to doctors. We could just be with each other."

This National Hospice & Palliative Care Month, we honor stories like Christine and Nancy’s that show the power of hospice and palliative care—and how it can help patients, and their loved ones savor every moment.
