Consider hospice care: A team of providers steps into people’s
lives at one of the most sensitive and complex times. Like other providers, they
answer questions, educate and provide medical care and support. At Agape,
there’s also an element of personal investment.
Agape’s vision has staff ensuring a “meaningful end-of-life
journey” for those we serve. We take it to heart, and we are all in.
We've celebrated many significant Agape
anniversaries: docs, nurses, CNAs, social workers, chaplains and support staff
who have been with Agape anywhere from five to 12 years.
There are reasons. For many, hospice work is a calling. As a small, private provider, Agape feels more like family
than a healthcare business. There’s another factor: team support.
Emails come across every day with words of help, encouragement
and recognition of a job well done. There’s road and weather conditions (like RN Nici’s Denver traffic
report or Director Kelly’s weather admonitions: Be safe. We need you.). The Agape team jumps in for one another, meeting pressing needs: “Don’t worry. I’ve
got it.”
Hospice work is hard. It's also immeasurably rewarding. End-of-life care takes grit and an open heart. What helps is
what we express to our patients and families: The journey is better with
support by your side.
