⚠WARNING: CUTENESS ALERT⚠
Louie and the staff at EveryStep welcomed some special visitors to the office on Wednesday - and they were truly the greatest of all time!
Our colleague, Jayce Reed, brought in a couple of baby goats from her family's farm to meet the staff (and their kids who are on Spring Break).
No one enjoyed it more than Louie, our therapy dog! Follow him on Instagram and stay tuned for some fun video of him meeting the goats:

Our people and our programs remain the same. Only our name has changed.
EveryStep is a name that has been six years in the making. During that time, HCI Hospice Care Services, Visiting Nurse Services of Iowa, Amanda the Panda and our more than 30 programs and services have come together under one umbrella, as part of one non-profit organization and a shared mission.
EveryStep is the same independent, non-profit organization with the people and programs Iowans have trusted for decades. Our family of community-based health care and support services offer compassion and guidance during life’s most challenging moments.
Today, our organization serves more than 60,000 people annually across 47 counties and dozens of programs. We have grown in our ability to offer care and support to people during vulnerable moments and difficult times. We have truly become stronger together.
However, our programs have been known under many different names – programs like HCI Hospice Care Services, Visiting Nurse Services of Iowa, Amanda the Panda, HCI Giving Tree, VNS Home Care, Community Voices, Hospice With Heart, VNS of Iowa Wellness, Stork's Nest, Storybook Project – and many more.
EveryStep has been named a "2019 Top Workplace" by the Des Moines Register and "Runner Up: Best Nonprofit" by the Des Moines Business Record. Learn more about us at www.everystep.org.
