Reflections on Being a Hospice and Palliative Care Nurse

As we celebrate Nurses Month throughout the month of May, we are recognizing nurses for their commitment to the profession and for providing compassionate care and support to the patients they serve. We thank our nurses for their dedication to our mission to celebrate the lives of those we have the privilege of serving by providing superior care and superior services to each patient and family. 

We invite you to read about one of our nurses at Ohio’s Hospice of Fayette County. 

• Kim changed careers after her grandmother was admitted to the Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton Hospice House. After spending Thanksgiving Day with her family at the Hospice House and seeing the excellent care provided to her grandmother, she was led to a new career in nursing, specifically hospice nursing. To Kim, kindness means compassion and empathy. It means shutting down technology and being present with family, and it means being the calm in the storm while families navigate through one of their most vulnerable and difficult times.
