Thank you to WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital Resident Physicians for spending time with our Medical Director, Dr. Kristine Midcap, last month to learn about the benefits of Valley Hospice and Caring Connections Palliative Care! We love spending time with our referral partners and talking about all of the ways we can help their patients and families!

Valley Hospice patient, Joseph Burkhart, has shared years of love and happy memories with his long-time partner Evalyne. Last month, our team had the honor of helping them celebrate their love for each other through a commitment ceremony. They declared their love for one another surrounded by their closest family and friends. It was a beautiful day filled with love and laughter. Many members of our local community and Valley Hospice staff members donated their time and talents to make this day special for Joseph and Evalyne. Paige Martin, from Paige Colleen Photography, served as the photographer for the day. Dannette Harris, Valley Hospice Bereavement Coordinator, created beautiful flower arrangements. Elevated Events provided a backdrop and Ashley McCallister from Altered Images Hair and Nail Salon styled the bride’s hair. Chef, Stephanie Davis, baked the bride and groom their favorite German chocolate cake. The special couple also received personalized engraved champagne glasses, a spectacular meal and beautiful decorations. We are so incredibly thankful for the support of everyone who helped with this very special wish! This celebration was made possible, in part, by the Valley Hospice Whispered Wishes Program, a program that grants end-of-life wishes to our patients. This program is run solely on donations and would not be possible without the support of our generous community! To learn more about Whispered Wishes, visit our website at https://lnkd.in/eyNwCik9.

Thank you to Amazing Grace Pillowcase, Inc.for donating beautiful handmade pillowcases for our Veteran patients in honor of Veterans Day! We are so thankful for the continued support of this wonderful group! Their pillowcases mean so much to everyone who receives one!

Every November, we are thankful for the opportunity to gather our staff to celebrate National Hospice and Palliative Care Month. We share breakfast, share stories that connect us to our organizational mission, celebrate employees for years of service and award our yearly Dove Award. The Dove Award is a long-standing tradition at Valley Hospice. Employees nominate their peers based on commitment to our company values: Teamwork, Integrity, Performance, Spirituality, Mission Focus and Engagement. A panel of past Dove Award winners then selects this current year's winner. Congratulations to this years winner, Scott Roach, RN on our Nursing Facility Team! We had a wonderful morning spending time together, recharging our minds, bodies and spirits, while celebrating the work we do for our patients and their families.

Happy Nurse Practitioner Week to our amazing NP's at Valley Hospice and all of the NP's we are privileged to work with! We are so thankful for YOU and all you do for your patients and their families!
