When Compassion Leaves Tracks

Hospice weekend on call RN Caroline Sizemore consistently demonstrates dedication to our patients, ensuring their needs are always met.  This weekend during a winter storm, on call staff was unable to reach a patient’s spouse by phone to check on our patient’s condition and comfort level.    This patient is nearing end of life and is being cared for by her elderly husband . Due to snow and ice, Caroline was unable to park near the home. She walked a quarter of a mile to the patient’s home in inclement weather to ensure that our patient was comfortable and her spouse was supported.   This action is just one example of the dedication and compassion she brings to patient care on a regular basis.
