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.

Navy veteran and hospice volunteer Aaron Burr knows the power of small gestures. Inspired by the kindness that shaped his early life in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Aaron now gives back by making companionship calls to fellow veterans receiving hospice care.

Recently, he mailed 100th birthday hats to centenarian patients — one of whom, Chief Windsong, was also a Navy veteran and New Bedford native. Though they’d never met, Aaron’s thoughtful gesture created a meaningful connection between two veterans, many miles apart.

Thank you, Aaron, for your service and your heart for hospice 💚

McKenzie Sanchez, STNA:

"My hospice 'why' is having the honor to give our patients the best care and quality of life during this very vulnerable time of their life. I love that my visits with my patients are not rushed and I’m able to spend more time providing emotional support and getting to know them and their families. Being able to spend extra quality time with my patients and their families shows them that I sincerely care for them and that I am someone they can rely on. I always make sure to let my patient families know that we are not only there for our patient but for their family as well."

"My Hospice 'why' is that I believe that this is such an emotional step for both our patients and their families.

It’s truly an honor to be trusted by people to provide care to them in their most vulnerable moments."

Dominique Reymer, STNA:

"My hospice journey began when my mother cared for my great aunt in our home during my youth, introducing me to the profound impact of compassionate end-of-life care. The kindness, expertise, and spiritual support of the nurses and aides left an indelible mark, inspiring me to pursue a career in hospice. I firmly believe that every individual deserves to live life to the fullest, surrounded by dignity and love, and I strive to embody this belief in my work every day."
