March is Social Work Month, and today we are proud to recognize and honor Dan for his incredible dedication and service.

With 24 years of experience as a social worker, Dan, has made a lasting impact on countless lives through his compassion, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to caring for others. A graduate of Oral Roberts University (Class of 2002), he has brought both knowledge and heart to his work throughout his career.

For the past 15 years, Dan has been a valued member of the Dierksen Hospice team, where he continues to provide comfort, guidance, and support to patients and families during some of life’s most meaningful moments.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Dan is a devoted husband to his wife Gina, who also serves as a social worker. Together, they have built a beautiful family with three children and two grandchildren. His Christian faith is an important foundation in his life; guiding the compassion and care he shows to others each day.

When he’s not working, Dan enjoys hunting for arrowheads and fishing—but around the office, he’s best known as the team’s prank master and resident clown, always bringing laughter and light to those around him.

Thank you, Dan, for your years of service, your servant’s heart, and the joy you bring to our team. Happy Social Work Month!

We are proud to celebrate a remarkable milestone for one of our own.

Over the weekend, Dierksen Hospice Chaplain Roderick L. Trotter was officially elevated to the Office of Bishop. This honor reflects a lifetime of faithful service, leadership, and dedication to ministry and community care.

Bishop Trotter has served as Pastor of St. James Baptist Church for 37 years, guiding and uplifting countless individuals and families. His commitment to spiritual growth is supported by his academic achievements from East Theological Seminary, where he earned a BA in Christian Education, a MA in Christian Counseling, and a Doctor of Theology, along with certification as a Christian Counselor.

For the past 8 years, Bishop Trotter has faithfully served patients and families through his role with Dierksen Hospice, offering comfort, compassion, and spiritual support during life’s most meaningful moments.

He is a devoted husband to Shanda, a proud father of two, and a loving grandfather of three.

Please join us in congratulating Bishop Roderick L. Trotter on this well-deserved elevation and in thanking him for his continued service and impact in both ministry and hospice care.

This World Social Work Day, we recognize the powerful impact social workers have in bringing hope, healing, and connection to the communities they serve.

This year’s theme, “Co-Building Hope and Harmony: A Harambee Call to Unite a Divided Society,” reminds us that meaningful changes happen when we come together to support one another. Inspired by “harambee,” meaning all pull together, social workers help bridge gaps, advocate for dignity, and strengthen families during life’s most vulnerable moments.

Thank you to our social workers for helping patients and families find comfort, understanding, and hope every day.

MEET OUR TEAM MEMBER MONDAY!

Given that March is Social Worker month, we want to spotlight Shalondee, one of our amazing social workers in our Texarkana AR office.

Shalondee has been with Dierksen Hospice in Arkansas for six years, not including the years of experience she previously contributed with our Texas office. She is truly the definition of compassion and dedication to hospice care.

Shalondee often shares that her favorite part of her job is getting to meet the many different patients and their loved ones. She values being able to connect with families and guide them toward resources that can help support them through the already difficult journey they are experiencing. Her commitment to helping families navigate these challenging moments is a powerful example of the heart behind the care our team provides.

Thank you Shalondee for your dedication to our patients and families, and our team 💚
