🎙️ New Episode Alert: Compassionate Conversations – April Edition

In this month’s episode, CEO Lynn Flanagan sits down with Ashley Presnell, Director of Patient Access, for a meaningful conversation that takes a closer look at some of the most common myths about hospice. Together, they separate fact from fiction and share what hospice truly offers patients and families during life’s most important moments.

💬 Whether you’ve wondered if hospice means “giving up” or think it’s only for the final days, this episode brings clarity, compassion, and understanding.

🎧 Tune in today and join the conversation—you might walk away with a whole new perspective. Watch or listen here: https://bit.ly/CompassionateConversationsApril2026

Ancora Compassionate Care held its annual volunteer appreciation banquet earlier this week. One of the highlights of the evening involved presenting Polly Caple with the first-ever Distinguished Service Award! Polly was recognized for more than 35 years' service to Ancora's patients, families, and staff.

Polly began as a volunteer in 1990 - when Hospice of Rockingham County was barely three years old. Through the years, she has offered her help and support in all capacities - patient care, administrative support, and special events. She also helps make weekly tuck-in calls to patients and lends a hand at The Robin's Nest, preparing merchandise for sale. Polly epitomizes what it looks like to have a servant's heart and we hope she'll be volunteering for many years to come!

Please join Ancora Compassionate Care in congratulating Mark McClintock for being named the 2026 Mickey Hair Volunteer of the Year. Mark has volunteered with us since 2011 and has served in almost every capacity possible - as a patient volunteer, courier for Gibson House, helping at The Robin's Nest, and he has even been known to make pieces of jewelry for the volunteers' annual auction. We are grateful Mark chooses to share his time and talents with Ancora!
