⭐Weekly Spotlight⭐

In the spirit of celebrating the extraordinary qualities that reside within our team, we proudly introduce the "Next Step Recognition Award." This award serves as a testament to the unsung heroes among us, nominated by their peers, whose daily actions embody selflessness, empathy, caring, sympathy, tenderness, and so much more. These remarkable individuals inspire us not in pursuit of recognition but simply because that is who they are.

Today, we recognize John Ngoma, a Social Worker at Beacon Hospice of North San Antonio. Please take a moment to read what his coworkers are saying!

Kind words from a co-worker:
John consistently goes above and beyond for our patients and families. He recently helped connect a patient family with the food bank to ensure they had access to needed resources. John always maintains a positive attitude and compassion. He is a great team player and valuable part of our team. We truly appreciate his dedication and care he provides to our patients and families.
