November is National Hospice Month, and at HoriSun Hospice, we’re using this time to honor our team’s passion and commitment. Each day, we’ll feature one of our staff members as they share personal reflections about their journey in hospice care.

Today, we share ReAnna, LPN, Visiting Nurse with HoriSun Hospice:

"One of my favorite aspects of working in hospice is getting to provide loving support to patients and their families during such a difficult time in their lives. Outside of hospice, I’m a busy mom, running my kids to sports and activities, but I also enjoy finding time for reading, crafting, and baking whenever I can. Some of my most meaningful moments at work come from listening to patients share their life stories. One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned from hospice is that dying doesn’t have to be scary. A lot of dying patients are ready to reconnect with those they have lost through their life time. Hearing stories of patients connecting with passed loved ones during the dying process always warms my heart."

Throughout November, National Hospice Month, we’re taking time to spotlight the heart of HoriSun Hospice—our team. Join us each day as we share their personal stories, insights, and experiences that capture the spirit of compassionate hospice care.

Below we share Kelli, RN, BSN, MSN, CHPN, director of clinical service's thoughts on her favorite part about working in hospice:

"My favorite thing about working in hospice is being invited into the lives of people who are truly in need of support at end of life. We enter a sacred, intimate time in the lives of our patients and their families, which is humbling. It is satisfying to help our patients fulfill some of their 'bucket-list' wishes and just help them feel a little bit better for whatever time they have left. I also love meeting people where they are, regardless of circumstance because everyone deserves a dignified death!"

Thank you Kelli for the wonderful care and support your provide our patients, their loved ones, and our hospice team!

Thank you to several families who came to our 'Remembering With Gratitude' bereavement event last week. During this season of gratitude and remembrance, it is often a time we feel the absence of our loved ones a little extra. Families created 'gratitude memory plates' in honor of their loved ones. Take a look at some of the wonderful creations below, and keep an eye on our page for another memorial event for families taking place in December.

At HoriSun Hospice, we’re honored to celebrate National Hospice Month by sharing stories from the incredible people who provide compassionate care every day. Follow along throughout November as our team members share what inspires them in their hospice work.

Today, we share thoughts from Nina, Volunteer Coordinator with the HoriSun team:

"I chose to work in hospice because I believe everyone deserves a good death, and hospice care strives to make this attainable for every person we serve. Working in hospice allows me to play a meaningful role in offering people the opportunity to experience comfort, dignity, and compassion at the end of life.

I’m deeply drawn to the holistic nature of hospice care, which addresses not only physical needs, but also the emotional and spiritual aspects of dying. To me, hospice work is not only about easing pain, but about honoring life, providing presence, preservation of legacy, and creating peace when it matters most.

I also believe that part of our mission is to normalize the experience of grief and to bring comfort to those who are actively grieving. Equally important is helping to make conversations about death and grief easier and more open, as these are universal experiences that touch everyone at some point in their lives. By fostering openness and understanding, we can help reduce the fear and isolation that often surround loss, and instead create space for connection, healing, and shared humanity."

Thank you Nina for all that you do to support our hospice volunteers, families and team!

Today, we share insight from Meesha, RN, On-Call Nurse, about her favorite thing about working in hospice:

"It’s not about saving a life or fixing a problem someone may have. But I feel its more about how special it is being invited into someone’s space and knowing that I'm part of the team that assists the patient to hurt less, be less anxious and be a solid foundation the family can lean on in what could be one of the hardest times they have gone through."

Thank you Meesha for the wonderful work you do!
