Meet Jorgan, a medical social worker here at Heartlinks. 💜

"I keep coming to work because I love what I do," says Jorgan. "Sharing the light and helping people understand what hospice really is, sharing our passion and understanding of disease progression and interventions we offer to help people finish the journey."

The Heartlinks community is an amazing group of supporters, volunteers, and employees. We will spend time this year highlighting several of the wonderful people who make Heartlinks what it is.

At the end of Spiritual Care Week, we want to remind everyone that spiritual counseling isn't just for the religious. Those who receive hospice care early have the opportunity to share struggles, triumphs, questions, or concerns with a trained listening ear, bringing a deeper sense of peace and connection with oneself and those important to them.

This week, several of our clinicians had the opportunity to attend a statewide hospice and palliative care conference. Nurses Sam and December are pictured here with Barbara Karnes, author of "Gone from My Sight: The Dying Experience" (and many other end-of-life resources).

We give this book to each of our hospice patients and their caregivers at admission to help them through this season of life's journey.

Your support at the Hospice Gala and many other fundraisers helps make attending these conferences possible for our clinicians. We are grateful for these opportunities to learn and grow.

At the start of Spiritual Care Week, we thank our spiritual counselors who work directly with our hospice care, palliative care, and grief care families.
💜 Craig - Spiritual & Grief Services Supervisor
💜 Teresa - Spiritual Counselor
💜 Scott - Spiritual Counselor
💜 Eric - Spiritual Counselor

Spiritual care is not just for the religious; our spiritual counselors show compassion as they listen to and answer questions and concerns about discouragement, death and dying, ethical issues, end-of-life, fear, and anxiety. They help patients cope with stress and relieve anxiety. They also support the team of caretakers who care for patients, both in and outside of Heartlinks.
