Testimonials

“My work as a Hospice of the Valley Chaplain over the past 15 years has been and continues to be so rewarding. It challenges and feeds me daily, and the people I work with are phenomenal. I can’t imagine doing anything else. ”

“I feel privileged to come into families’ lives, hoping to make a difference during the time that is left. I have been touched by their courage, their willingness to share, their sadness and their spirit. I say with much pride: ‘You are not alone.’ ”

“It is a blessing to be able to go from house to house and be of service by changing a bed, bathing, feeding, giving a smile or a warm touch, singing a song or just feeding a cat. I stay because I love what I do for my patients. ”

“Hospice nursing makes me strive for who I ought to be, makes me ever conscious of my meaning and purpose, and frequently gives me pause to acknowledge my gratitude for this life of service and all the travelers I meet on this path. I am constantly learning from my patients and families, blending science with that fragile art and spirit of nursing.”
