CARE AMBASSADOR
Our Care Ambassadors are those employees who uphold Hospice of Southern Illinois' standard for excellent hospice care and service by going above and beyond for patients, families, team members, or the community. 

Dee Blackwell, Registered Nurse, has worked for Hospice of Southern Illinois since 2013. Dee added, "Compassionate care and a dedication to one's patients and workplace is the cornerstone for success no matter what type of nursing you pursue."

RETIREMENT
In her 20th year with  Hospice of Southern Illinois , we wish Diane Voss all the best in her retirement. Along with Diane's immediate team members, The Regulatory Compliance Department, the entire organization congratulates Diane on her 45-year nursing career! We cannot thank her enough for service. We are not too sad, because Diane plans to continue her service with us as a volunteer.

    Veterans
    June was PTSD Awareness Month
    Peace, comfort, and dignity are three goals of care in hospice. The approach to these goals is different for everyone, especially Veterans with PTSD. Often times, Veterans were faced with conflict and other stressors that other individuals and civilians were not exposed to in their past, which can affect their end-of-life journey.
