This month’s MVP Moment reflects the power of dignity in care. When a Beacon Hospice employee in Plymouth, MA entrusted the care of her own father to her team, the experience became deeply personal. Hospice care was no longer just professional work—it was care given to one of our own.

The patient was a proud and independent man who did not easily accept help. Hospice Aide Sumaya Rodrigues met him where he was, respected his boundaries and patiently earned his trust. Over time, he not only accepted care but looked forward to her visits. Her calm, respectful approach helped create a sense of closure and reassurance to the family during an incredibly difficult time.

One small act carried tremendous meaning. The patient shaved every day of his life and never began his day without it. Even as his health declined Sumaya carefully continued that routine, and after the patient passed she returned without hesitation to gently care for him and give him one final shave. He looked like himself again. That final act brought peace and comfort to his loved ones that cannot be overstated.

Sumaya lives the Amedisys values of Service and Passion. Through her kindness and dedication, Sumaya reflects the very best of Amedisys and Beacon Hospice. Thank you for sharing your gift of compassion with Amedisys and all of your patients.

We recently celebrated Cindy Ciaccio ("Cha Cha"), our Receptionist Extraordinaire, as she marked her 25th Amedi-versary! For many of our team members, guests and people calling for our services, Cindy is the very first impression of Amedisys. She is the friendly voice answering corporate calls and the welcoming presence that greets everyone who walks through the doors of our corporate office.

To honor this milestone, the Baton Rouge team planned a day of surprises, with Cindy receiving "25"-themed gifts delivered hourly by different corporate teams throughout the day, including 25 cards, 25 flowers, 25 cookies, 25 balloons and many other creative surprises.

Cindy’s 25 years of service reflect dedication, reliability and a genuine care for people that aligns perfectly with who we are as an organization. Congratulations, Cindy, on 25 amazing years. Thank you for being the welcoming heart and voice of Amedisys.

To kick off Nurses Week, we would like to begin by thanking our incredible team of nurses.

A vital part of hospice care is ensuring that nurses are available 24 hours a day. We are truly grateful to have a dedicated team of 40 nurses who make this possible.

Their impact extends far beyond patient care—our nurses are often the glue that holds our entire team together.
