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.

We Made Waves for Customer Appreciation Week!

Our team dove into Customer Appreciation Week with a splash, kicking things off on Monday, 5/19, with a beach-themed bash that brought sunshine and good vibes! It was just the beginning of a week full of fun, gratitude, and celebration.

Our Care Commitments are:

•Quick to connect—quick to care

•Promise of presence

•Nights and weekends matter

•Great care requires great communication

•Compassion at every step of the way

By Friday, 5/23, the waves had settled, but the appreciation? That’s here to stay.

On Friday, May 16th, we had the honor of making a wish come true for our patient, Sgt. Major Richard Metts, during Military Night at Equity Bank Stadium. As a proud Army Veteran and former college baseball player, Richard was chosen to throw the first pitch at the Wichita WindSurge game.

Richard’s journey is one of courage and commitment. After earning a baseball scholarship to the University of North Carolina, he chose to serve his country, enlisting in the U.S. Army in 1983. “Give me something hard to do,” he said, and he meant it. He became an Army Ranger, serving across the globe for over 26 years, including tours in Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Gulf War, and Operation Desert Storm.

This night was about more than baseball. It was about honoring a life of service, sacrifice, and strength.

Thank you to Equity Bank Stadium, Medicalodges of Goddard, and our team for making this incredible evening possible. And most of all, thank you, Sgt. Major Metts, for your service.

Hospice is about living fully and creating meaningful moments, and this was certainly one of them.
