Meet Stephanie, one of our RN Case Managers from our Jasper team. She shares with us her hospice why.
“I chose hospice long before I ever worked in it. I chose hospice the day I had to make the hardest decision of my life to place my own mother, and later my father, on hospice care.
For so long, the word hospice felt heavy, final, and frightening. But when I walked through it personally, I learned that hospice isn’t about giving up. It’s about giving more, more comfort, more dignity, more time to simply love without fighting.
I saw firsthand the blessing it can be. I watched a team come together, nurses, aides, social workers, and chaplains, each one caring not just for my parents, but for us as a family. They brought peace into one of the most painful seasons of my life.
That experience planted something in me I couldn’t shake. It became a calling, a purpose, a way to give back what was given to me.
So now, I serve with that same heart. Hospice is not just my job. It’s my ministry, my honor, and my calling.” ❤️
Stephanie, our Hospice of Chattanooga team is thankful for all that you do!
