I want to recognize and congratulate Arlene on her work with NHPCO and their mentorship program for volunteer managers. Her extensive knowledge and experience have been acknowledged by her peers on a national level. Thank you, Arlene, for representing our organization and contributing to the development of other volunteer leaders in the hospice industry through training and mentoring. We all admire your passion and dedication!

Carole, SYV Home Health

Carole, SYV Home Health

Carole provided service, knowledge, and is the reason my son is doing so well. She was always there for us! We love her!

Cheryl, Hospice

Cheryl, Hospice

I’m sorry to be sending this so late but I am just now finding time to send out my thank you cards. I can’t thank you enough for helping us with my wife’s memorial. You helped guide up through it so well and we are forever grateful. I will start my first support group session later today and Hospice has been so helpful. I don’t know how anyone gets through all of this without your support. You are a special lady, Cheryl, and I am so grateful for you!

Ismael, Accounting

Ismael, Accounting

I asked Ismael for help in organizing data in excel. He looked into the issue and then created a complex Macro that organized the data in a template I could utilize. As a result, I was able to save at least 2 hours a month in importing the data into our donor database.

Janet, Hospice

Janet, Hospice

Thank you ever so much for helping to look after mom in her final months of life. Your kind and warm treatment mean a great deal to us. It made her stay at the medical center more tolerable. We send you our gratitude and a big hug.

Jayne, SYV Home Health

Jayne, SYV Home Health

Jayne was the best therapist possible. She pushed me to keep working even then I thought I couldn’t and as a result, I am walking like a normal person using just a cane just 3 weeks after surgery.

Karen, Home Health

Karen, Home Health

I had a knee replacement. She is a wonderful physical therapist. She helped me very much. VNA Health is lucky to have her.

Lisa, Serenity House

Lisa, Serenity House

Lisa did a fantastic job with all the VNA Health values. She helped out on patients not assigned to her and reminded me of the level of care we give to all our patients. Great way to reduce the stressful night!

Lupe, Hospice

Lupe, Hospice

Lupe not only provides exceptional professional care to our 98-year-old dad but gives so much encouragement to our 92-year-old mom during this challenging time. Lupe’s positive cheerful attitude and loving care give our dad and mom the “sunshine” they need to get through the day. We are so thankful for having Lupe in all our lives!

Maureen, Hospice

Maureen, Hospice

Maureen worked diligently to provide my family member an inpatient bed at Serenity House when he needed it. The family is forever grateful.

Nancy, Information Technology

Nancy, Information Technology

She provided direct support to a volunteer in need of access to the computer system. A special update to a password was required.

Rob, Home Health

Rob, Home Health

I am writing to you to praise your physical therapist, Robert Sparrow. Rob provided me with excellent out patient care several weeks ago at a time when I was depressed and discouraged about the status of my slowly progressive Ioeopathic Polyneuropathy. Rob offered encouragement. He gently yet firmly pushed me to exercise more and to segue from a cane to a walker. He cheered my modest accomplishments and gave me some much needed hope. Rob sparrow is a credit to your outstanding institution.

Roxanne, SYV Home Health

Roxanne, SYV Home Health

She explained how to help my husband. She gave the whys and the benefits. She was sweet, encouraging, and really knew what she was doing. We both were grateful. So worth while. Thanks!

Ryan, Home Health

Ryan, Home Health

Ryan was an excellent occupational therapist. He showed me in a very professional manner how to live in our home with a temporary disability. He was a wealth of information.

Sam, Serenity House

Sam, Serenity House

As a family we were so grateful that my husband spent his last few days at Serenity House. Everyone was so loving and made him as comfortable as possible.
