November was National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, and we were able to catch up with some of our local Hospice nurses to learn more about them. This week we’re spotlighting Kelli Jo Hamilton with Bernardo Hospice Care

Kelli Jo has been a nurse for nearly 20 years, with eight of those in hospice care. She recently added the role of Community Liaison, which fits naturally with her love for building deep connections and her passion for educating others about the purpose and value of hospice care.

What she enjoys most about her work is connecting with people during one of the most difficult times in their life. She considers it an honor to care for patients and families with compassion while also building relationships within the community.

Outside of work, Kelli Jo enjoys quality time with her family, relaxing by the water, and tending to her family’s animals. It’s a peaceful way to recharge and stay connected to what matters most.

Thank you Kelli Jo for all you to love and serve patients, their families, and our community!
