Congratulations to one of our newly minted nurses! Beth Torrance joined us in 2021 as a CNA, advanced to licensed practical nurse, and has now officially graduated from nursing school.🎓Her teammates were proud to cheer her on at her pinning ceremony — a big milestone achieved while working and studying full time and raising three kids. Beth is grateful for the support she’s received throughout her journey. One of her favorite moments: seeing her fellow Hospice of the Valley nurses stand and recite the pledge with her. “It was an amazing day!” Way to go, Beth!🩺

Hospice of the Valley’s Adopt‑a‑Family program is our favorite holiday tradition, bringing employees across our agency together to support patients and families in need. This year, our Tucson team partnered with Tucson Appliance Company, which generously donated a brand‑new stove to one of our Tucson families. Our team also surprised them with two space heaters, bikes, gift cards, jackets, toys and more. Special thanks to "Santa" (community liaison Yvette Jimenez’s uncle, Frank) for making a joyful guest appearance. 🎅🎁
