Halcyon Hospice – Tucker, Ga.
Hospice care is our mission and vision – and our employees
give of themselves physically, emotionally and spiritually as they care for
patients and families. Sometimes things can approach overload. This
is especially true during the holiday season as so many of the families we
serve face such devastating loss – and our teams suffer that loss with them.
A few weeks ago, the Halcyon Hospice team in Tucker, Ga.,
had a rough week. They admitted a patient who had very limited resources,
family that lived far away and was struggling with the inability to eat, pain
and acceptance of the real possibility that she might die before
Christmas. The entire team rallied to that patient’s aid, but by Thursday
of that week they felt drained.
When the team arrived at the office that Thursday morning,
Miracle Bell, CNA, had put up the Christmas tree with all of its decorations
and even hung garland on the mantle – all on her own in an effort to cheer up
her team. Miracle knew that her team had been through a difficult time and
needed a little Christmas cheer.
Hospice Heroes not only focus on our patients, they also
understand that hospice staff need the same type of support and
encouragement. Thanks, Miracle, for not only taking care of your
patients, but for also supporting your team. You are our Hospice Hero!
