Today we were proud to present Jolene Stepanski from The Medical Team Hospice as our Heart of Caring Award recipient for the month. A'Marie Dotson shared these words about Jolene's heart of caring:
"Jolene's beautiful hospice heart SHINES in every aspect of her care. From bringing a patient's favorite treats to her visits to making PB&J sandwiches during a patient's visit for their sick spouse, Jolene truly goes above and beyond for those she cares for...and her glowing family reviews reflect it! As a board-certified music therapist, Jolene is also one of the few nurses who not only appreciates what music therapy does for our patients, but advocates wholeheartedly for my services; her own love of music helps convince even the most skeptical patients to become willing to give music therapy services a try. It is a joy to serve our patients alongside such a fantastic nurse and an even better person!"
As the winner of our Heart of Caring Award, Jolene received a Heart of Caring glass heart, her name inscribed on our Heart of Caring Award plaque, and a $100 gift card. Thank you, Jolene, for everything you do for your patients and their families. We are proud to present you with this award!
