Hospice of Iredell County Inc

Wrapping up National Pastoral Care/Spiritual Caregiver Week with our Chaplain and Bereavement Care Specialist, Tangela Cameron. Thank you, Tangela for the care and compassion you have been giving our patients and families for over 6 years!

We are continuing our recognition of National Pastoral Care/Spiritual Care Week by highlighting our Director of Chaplaincy and Bereavement, Lynn Kunkle! Lynn has been with HPCIC for over 20 years, and we are so grateful to have her!

This week is National Pastoral Care/Spiritual Caregiver Week! We appreciate all that our Chaplains do for our organization, and the compassion they give to our patients. Randy Berryhill has been with HPCIC for 27 years, and we are so grateful for all that he does for our patients!

One of the biggest hospice myths is that hospice means giving up hope. “It’s not — it’s reframing hope,” Hospice & Palliative Care of Iredell County CEO Mike Smith says. “We may no longer be hoping for a cure, but now we focus on hope for time with family, comfort, peace and dignity in the patients location of choice. Our hope is to walk this journey with families and be there every step of the way and help families honor their loved ones wishes.”

Each month our volunteer department offers Coffee & Conversation for current volunteers and anyone interested in becoming a volunteer in the future. Currently, we are especially in need of volunteers who can provide visits to patients in their homes or facilities. These visits offer companionship to the patient as well as a time of respite for the caregivers. To learn just how much your time can mean to someone, reach out to leannd@hoic.org.

This week, we recognize and show appreciation for case management and transitions of care professionals. These team members make a real and profound difference in the lives of our patients and families. Thank you for all you do!

Today is Clergy Appreciation Day! We are so grateful for all that our chaplains and bereavement staff do for the spiritual care of our patients and families and even our staff. Seen here, Chaplain Tangela performs a blessing of the hands on staff member Shanika.

Today is World Hospice & Palliative Care Day! Thank you to all of our staff members who provide extraordinary care every day, and to our community for supporting us and making this care possible! ❤
