This month's MVP Moment recognizes Contessa caregiver Aslim Amile, BSN, RN: a cornerstone of the High Acuity Care team in Hawthorne, NY who consistently demonstrates our Amedisys SPIRIT core values.

Colleagues often use one word to describe Aslim: exceptional. He embraces new protocols, mentors newer team members and continually refines his skills. His integrity, respect and calm presence earn the trust of patients, families and the care team.

“Aslim never loses sight of why he chose this profession,” says Nicole Vazquez, HAC Clinical Liaison, who nominated him for MVP. “He puts patients first, even during the busiest times, and goes above and beyond to ensure compassionate, personalized care.”

Thank you, Aslim, for inspiring your team and making a lasting impact on patients and families!

Heart failure is a major national health challenge. It remains the only cardiovascular disease that continues to rise, and it's the number one cause of hospitalization in adults over 65.

During Heart Month, we're highlighting our Heart Failure Empowerment Program designed for our home health patients. We help patients understand their disease, recognize early warning signs and adopt heart-healthy habits. A structured home health approach can help loved ones who are living with heart failure remain stable and out of the hospital.

Many families wonder what happens if they choose hospice and later feel it’s not the right fit. In hospice care, patient choice is always protected — including the right to stop care at any time, for any reason, even after services have begun.

Our latest blog explains how hospice eligibility, recertification and patient choice work, and what it looks like to discontinue or resume hospice if your goals or needs change.
