What a wonderful Giving Hearts Day! Thank you to everyone who stopped by our open house to say hello, grab a donut, browse our table of goodies, or make a gift. Seeing so many friendly faces meant so much to us.

We’re so grateful for this generous community and the difference we’re able to make together.

For Joyia Tjaden, nursing isn’t just a job—it’s a calling.

“I absolutely love what I do, and it brings me great fulfillment to be there to help during the final moments of someone’s life,” says Joyia, a hospice RN at Ethos in Grand Forks.

What gives her work deeper meaning is the chance to build relationships with patients and their families. “Getting to know them gives my job a much greater purpose,” she shares.

Joyia recalled a quote that stayed with her: a nurse is often the first and last touch at the start and end of life. “We are the hands that bookend a lifetime,” she says. “To me, that is much more than being a nurse—it is a calling.”

To anyone considering a career in nursing, she offers this encouragement: “Take the first step and try it. And make sure to lean on those around you—the job we do isn’t light, but it is still rewarding.”

What a joy to see these sweet senior pups find their forever home just in time for the holidays. We’re grateful to our own Molly Helm and everyone on the Ethos team who helped Maggie and Neiko begin a new chapter filled with love and companionship.

Thank you to Furry Friends Rockin' Rescue, Inc. - Bismarck Mandan for giving us the opportunity to be part of this heartwarming story.

💖 Gratitude Overflowing Today 💖

We want to extend the biggest, most heartfelt thank you to Molly Helm, Nurse Navigator with Ethos Home Health and Hospice, and to the amazing team at Ethos for their incredible generosity in sponsoring the adoption of Maggie and Neiko.

Ethos chose to sponsor the adoption fee for senior dogs in hopes of giving them the gift of a home for Christmas—and these beautiful bonded girls were the lucky ones. Because of this kindness, Maggie and Neiko will be heading to their forever family this weekend after their final vet appointments.

What a priceless gift: comfort, love, and a home for the holidays. 🐾🎄
This is what community looks like. This is how lives are changed.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for making this miracle possible. Our community truly is something special. 💕

Today, on National Grief Awareness Day, we pause to recognize the courage of those walking through loss—and to remind them they’re not alone.

At Ethos, we believe in walking with families through every step of the journey, offering compassion, connection, and support long after a loved one has passed. From one-on-one check-ins to community memorials, our bereavement care helps remind families that healing and hope are possible.

At Ethos, we believe that supporting families through grief is just as important as the comfort and care we provide through end-of-life care.
