Congratulations for being recognized through the Bethesda Foundation's Grateful Family Program. Hospice of Cincinnati received a gift in this team member's honor from a grateful family member.

The grateful family members included a note with their gift, thanking HOC for the care of their mother.

"We would like to thank the Hospice of Cincinnati organization and a special thanks to Lead Nurse Diana. My mother was provided visits and help for her last 5 months of life. The extra attention helped her to enjoy her time. When mother’s condition changed and the end was near Lead Nurse Diana called in the team to provide 5 days of 24 hour care. All the nurses provided this only child the confidence to leave at night knowing mother was being continuously attended and they would call if anything would change with mother’s condition. On the last day, Diana called and my wife and I were able to sit with mother on her final day. We have included our donation so you can continue your special mission for our last days."

The Grateful Family Program allows families to recognize a physician, nurse, caregiver or team member who made a difference in their life with a donation and a note of thanks. Donations made through the Grateful Family Program provide support for programs and services at Hospice of Cincinnati.
