When her patient wouldn’t leave her dog to get urgent medical help, Jeannie Lucht, RN stepped in, offering to take Favio home for the night and arrange care for the next day. Her kindness and quick thinking made all the difference. The patient agreed to go to the hospital and thankfully was able to return home just 24 hours later!

Jeannie went above and beyond, representing the very best of Amedisys. She didn’t just help a patient in crisis — she reassured her, advocated for her and quite literally took care of the ones she loves. It’s this kind of compassionate, whole-person care that makes our work meaningful, and nurses like Jeannie true MVPs. Thank you, Jeannie, for leading with heart for our patients and all that matters to them!

Three members of our Garner, NC hospice care center recently came together to support a local family as their 22-year-old son entered his final moments of life. The team responded quickly, admitted the patient, remained with the family and provided comfort and prayer as he passed — all in one meaningful visit.

We are proud to have such compassionate caregivers on our team. Thank you, Dianna, Mandy and Amanda for your urgency, empathy and dedication to putting our patients and their families first in the moments that matter.
