“Hospice is not just for dying, it’s for living.”

The community of hospice professionals is rich and full of people whose only mission is to care for other human beings during their deepest and darkest moments.

Bring light to the darkest tunnel. Create a moment that makes a person smile and feel alive. Honor a veteran for their past accomplishments. Introduce a safe place for someone to talk - while you listen. Bring a pet to the bedside for a cuddle. Bust out a boombox to play that favorite soundtrack. Share the scents of vanilla and lavender through aroma therapy.

It’s all about making this journey exceptional.

This is the true mission of hospice.

Our dear friend, Marcela Lima, has a podcast called At The Bedside; the latest episode has been released. Marcela has a candid conversation with Gina Norton, Hospice Clinical Manager, Gilchrist, and the discussion is about Compassion in Action.

• Get your tissues - you’ll shed a tear or two.

• Be prepared to laugh - these two will be visiting patients together soon.

• Get your notepad - several ideas on how you and your team can make this journey exceptional.

Incredible conversation for anyone living and breathing in hospice.
