Welcome to the newest member of the Gentiva team. Meet Ms Hazel Lyles. This is her why for hospice. "I work for hospice because I have so much compassion to give. It is my calling to provide comfort and care. I think it is so important that while people are in an emotional state, I can be that person whom they can feel comfortable with to cry to, laugh with, or just need a hug. I know how it feels to be the person who lost someone, and it feels like you're left alone. So that is my why, I choose hospice because of the love and compassion I can give!"

Meet Gentiva's superhero, Leslie, CNA. When asked why she chose hospice, she stated, ”I’m truly blessed to be able to care for people in their last days. I believe God placed me here in 2003 after my grandmother became ill and had to be placed on hospice. I love our patients as well as my Genitiva Hospice team. I’m grateful, thankful, and truly blessed."

During Certified Nursing Assistants Week, we recognize the inspiring contributions that our hospice and home health aides make every day. They are the true eyes, ears, and hands of our clinical teams, turning the everyday tasks that patients can’t do for themselves into opportunities to show compassion. Your patience and kindness in the little moments that you share with patients make such a tremendous difference in their lives, and we couldn’t be prouder of you.
