Dr. Sarah Phillips’ compassionate care for her patients - and their families - is unsurpassed. During National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, we salute her and all providers for the care they provide to their patients throughout our four-county service area.

We are so very grateful that our provider community entrusts the care of their patients to Hospice of the Panhandle. We appreciate the partnership.

🌟 Celebrating Excellence in Our Community 🌟

On Thursday, November 13, the Martinsburg-Berkeley County Chamber of Commerce hosted its 99th Annual Dinner — and members of Hospice of the Panhandle were proudly recognized throughout the evening.

We’re thrilled to share that Danielle Ruble, Chief Clinical Officer, has been elected to serve on the Chamber’s Board of Directors for the next three years beginning January 2026. Her leadership and commitment to compassionate care will be an incredible asset to our community.

Two additional HOTP team members were honored for their service:

• Jim Klein, Sales and Business Outreach Manager, completed his third three-year term on the Board and will begin his required one-year hiatus in 2026.

• Mary Shipe Duke received one of the night’s most prestigious honors — Volunteer of the Year. Her dedication to organizations like Sisters Act, her impact as a public school teacher, and her contributions to HOTP have enriched our community in countless ways.

The evening’s highlight was a heartfelt salute to Maria Lorensen, Development Director, who recently completed her term as President of the Chamber’s Board of Directors. Maria was also recognized for her upcoming retirement from HOTP in December after years of extraordinary service, leadership, and community impact.

Please join us in congratulating Danielle, Jim, Mary, and Maria on these well-deserved honors. We are so proud to have such remarkable individuals representing Hospice of the Panhandle! 💙✨

Join us at one of our upcoming ceremonies:

Morgan County
• Friday, December 5 at 5:15 p.m.
• CNB Bank, 101 S. Washington Street, Berkeley Springs

Berkeley & Jefferson Counties

• Hospice of the Panhandle Campus, 330 Hospice Lane, Kearneysville

Hampshire County
• Tuesday, December 9 at 5:15 p.m.

Each glowing light represents a story, a legacy, a name spoken with love. We are honored to create a space where those memories can be held gently during the holiday season.

A heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsors for helping make Light Up a Life possible once again.

Let’s remember together.

Great afternoon with our friends at Berkeley Springs VFW Post 4019! It was a chili cookoff - look how intense the judges are! We are so grateful for this partnership and their wonderful support!

We told these great men and women how 25 percent of our patients are veterans, and how we recognize them in our “We Honor Veterans” program. We have cared for 161 since Veterans Day last year. We love our veterans!

📸 More Moments from Our Leadership Development Institute

On November 11, members of our management team gathered for our Leadership Development Institute — a day dedicated to strengthening our commitment to Hospice of the Panhandle’s mission, vision, and values. https://hospiceotp.org/about-us/

At Hospice of the Panhandle, some carry a stethoscope, and others carry a calculator, a laptop, or a clipboard. But no matter the role, every person in these photos plays a vital part in supporting the care and well-being of our patients, families, and community.

Leadership isn’t just about titles — it’s about compassion, integrity, and the shared belief that every person deserves comfort, dignity, and support during some of life’s most challenging moments.

🌿 Growing Together in Leadership and Compassion 🌿

On November 11, during our Leadership Development Institute, the Hospice of the Panhandle leadership team took time to connect through a special teambuilding exercise — creating pumpkin planters that will grow into succulents. 🌱 All of the supplies were donated by: Old McDonald's Pumpkin Patch & Corn Maze.

The laughter, creativity, and fellowship shared were more than just fun — they were moments of “bucket filling” that renewed our energy and strengthened our bond as a team.

As we celebrate National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, this time together reminded us of why we do what we do — to live out our mission, vision, and values with compassion and purpose.

After a full day of learning and growing, we left recharged and refocused on providing the very best care for our patients and families in need. 💙

🌼 World Kindness Day — Thursday, November 13 🌼

Today, Hospice of the Panhandle celebrates the kindness that defines our mission — the steady, compassionate presence of our care heroes who walk beside patients and families during some of life’s most meaningful moments.

In hospice and palliative care, kindness isn’t just a gesture — it’s a skill, a commitment, and a daily practice. It looks like:

💛 A nurse holding a patient’s hand during a difficult night
💛 A social worker helping a family find comfort and clarity
💛 A CNA offering gentle care with dignity and respect
💛 A volunteer bringing warmth, connection, and a much-needed smile

These moments may seem small, but together they create a circle of comfort that surrounds every patient we serve.

On World Kindness Day, we honor our team for the tenderness, patience, and humanity they bring to this work — and we recognize the families and community members who show kindness to one another in countless ways.

Thank you for helping us make compassion the standard, not the exception. Today and every day, kindness is the heart of hospice and palliative care. 🌟
