Halcyon Hospice of Flowood, Miss. – Hospice Heroes

Halcyon Hospice of Flowood, Miss.

Halcyon Hospice of Flowood, Miss., recently cared for a patient who came close to passing away several times before managing to rally. The patient later confided to her nurse, April Page, RN, that she wanted to “go home.”

After some investigation, it became clear that “home” was her bedroom. She was staying in another room because other furniture in her bedroom prevented her hospital bed from fitting. April, Maurice Jackson, MSW, Kris Myers, RN, and Lyquita McLaurin, CAN, met at the patient’s home and moved some furniture out of her bedroom so that her hospital bed could be moved in.

The patient and her daughter were very appreciative. Exactly one week later, the patient passed away peacefully at “home.”

Tammy Partridge, administrator in Flowood, said that her team always pulls together like this to make sure that patients are not only well cared for, but that their wishes are granted whenever possible. What great teamwork!  Thanks April, Maurice, Kris and Lyquita – you are all our Hospice Heroes!
