Halcyon Hospice (Philadelphia, Miss.) – Hospice Heroes

Halcyon Hospice – Philadelphia, Miss.



The end-of-life journey is never easy – for the patients, for their families and loved ones or for our teams. We all rally together to not only take care of our patients, but to also hold each other up. That is what we do.

Halcyon Hospice in Philadelphia, Miss., recently had the opportunity to care for the father of one of our fellow home health branch managers, and she wrote a quick note to tell them how much their efforts were appreciated.

Randi Shafer, RN, and Dena Smith, RN, have been very sweet and helpful to the patient and family. Dena calls the two daughters (both of whom are nurses) daily and updates them on their father. The patient’s wife said that Balencigia McClendon, CAN, and Tomecia Hammock, CNA, are absolutely wonderful and very gentle and kind to her husband. They are all so pleased with the care their father/spouse has received from the Philadelphia team and wanted them all to know how much they appreciated the help during this journey.

Thanks to Randi, Dena, Balencigia and Tomecia for truly caring for your patients and their families. Your compassion and excellent care is apparent and brings peace and comfort. You are all our Hospice Heroes!
