The collaboration between hospice, assisted living communitiesand residents and their families is an essential part of the end-of-life journey for residents faced with serious, life-limiting illness. When an assisted living community serves as the person’s residence, hospice services are seamlessly integrated into that setting, ensuring the same level of interdisciplinary support, symptom management and psychosocial care as would be provided in a private home.

Congratulations! Thank you for all you do, Merrell!

Our very own SC/GA Regional Volunteer Coordinator, Merrell Lowe, was recently presented with the South Carolina Home Care & Hospice Association (SCHCHA) Hospice-Veteran Partnership Award. This distinction was granted as part of SCHCHA's 2024 H.O.M.E. (Honoring Outstanding Merit & Excellence) Awards, and recognizes a hospice employee who is a leader within their organization and community.

As Merrell's nominators shared, "The patients Merrell serves are thankful to have a fellow Veteran who understands the unique needs of a Veteran patient. He has helped lead the way for Regional Volunteer Coordinators around the country to find deeper and stronger connections with Veteran patients."

Congratulations, Merrell, on this incredible recognition! Thank you for your service, and for all the passion you bring to our team at Amedisys.
