Our Next Employee Spotlight: Latrell Granger Volunteer Coordinator

Born and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana, Latrell Granger is a true people person with a heart for service. She attended St. Leo Seton School, Northside High School, and later UL Lafayette, where she majored in Business and Marketing—a foundation that perfectly complements her passion for connecting with others.

Latrell is a proud mom of two daughters, one son, and also 3 step daughters. Latrell has been happily married to her husband, Kenny, for 16 years.

With an impressive and diverse background, Latrell spent 18 years in retail, 20 years in modeling for multiple retail shops and companies, and later worked at Acadian Imaging. She then worked with a neurologist for 3 years before finding her calling in hospice. Latrell has dedicated a combined 15 years as a Volunteer Coordinator across three hospice organizations, including four years with SouthernCare Hospice.

In her role, Latrell assists staff, coordinates volunteers for friendly companion visits, respite support, food delivery, errands, flower programs, birthday calls, and “tuck-in” calls—ensuring every patient feels supported and cared for.

What draws Latrell to hospice is her deep compassion, empathy, and desire to give back. She describes hospice work as fulfilling and a blessing—both to her and to the patients she serves. When you meet Latrell, you’ll immediately notice her infectious smile, vibrant personality, charm, and positive spirit. “She truly does not have a negative bone in her body.”

Outside of work, Latrell stays busy cheering on her son in baseball ⚾️, attending many events for her grandchildren and spending time with her family. Her hobbies include modeling, dancing, singing, enjoying the sun and outdoors, relaxing by the pool, online shopping (a little retail therapy!), and loving on her animals.

Looking ahead, Latrell’s goals for the next 10 years include continuing to work and serve as much as she can, traveling, and supporting her son as he pursues his dream of earning a full college baseball scholarship. Above all, she cherishes time spent with her family as God and family are the center of everything she does.

We are so grateful to have Latrell’s heart, energy, and compassion on our team. 💚😇

Unmasking The Myths of Hospice!

One of the biggest myths about hospice is that it hastens death or shortens someone’s life — and that simply isn’t true.

Hospice does not speed up the dying process. In fact, many patients live just as long, and sometimes longer, because their pain is managed, their anxiety is reduced, and their overall quality of life improves. Hospice focuses on comfort, dignity, and support — not giving up.

The benefits of hospice go far beyond symptom control. Patients receive expert medical care, emotional and spiritual support, and 24/7 access to a team who knows them and their wishes. Families receive guidance, education, and relief from the fear of “doing this alone.”

Hospice is about living fully, even at the end of life — surrounded by comfort, compassion, and peace. 💜💛💚

If you or someone you love has questions about hospice, please ask. Education changes everything.

🎥 Education Series | Video 3: Why Hospice Sooner Matters

Our Third Education Series video features our Medical Director, Dr. Brianna Shaffer, guiding a meaningful conversation on when to have the hospice discussion.

Having these conversations earlier empowers patients, families, and care teams to make informed, compassionate decisions that truly align with their goals and values—without waiting for a crisis moment.

We’re grateful for leadership that champions education, clarity, and patient-centered care. 💙💚

At Southern Grace Hospice, we’re proud to continue educating our community through our “Clearing the Air on Hospice Care” series—because understanding hospice sooner can make all the difference.
