On World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, we're highlighting the important role hospice and palliative care play in helping patients and families navigate serious illness.

Both hospice and palliative care focus on comfort, quality of life and support, helping patients receive care that aligns with their goals and wishes. Palliative care can begin at diagnosis and alongside treatment. Hospice care is typically chosen when treatment is no longer working or a patient decides to stop curative treatment for a terminal illness, shifting the focus to comfort, quality of life and support for both the patient and their loved ones.

1. What do you do you do at our company?
I work as a member of the team at Amedisys as an Occupational Therapist. I visit with patients and their families to design a plan for Occupational Therapy (OT) to help the patient reach their goals with day-to-day activities. I work with other members of our team to provide the best care to our patients and try to meet all of the patient and family member’s needs.
2. What motivates you to get up and go to work?
I enjoy helping my patients get back to being themselves. OT is focused on helping people be able to be as independent as possible in their day-to-day lives. I love when I can teach a patient a simple technique that can give them the independence and freedom to do a task for themselves.
3. What is something most people don't know about you?
When I have the chance, I enjoy some extreme sports like skiing, snowboarding, and bungee jumping. I hope to try skydiving one day.
4. How do you spend your free time?
Lately, I have been enjoying spending time with my new corgi puppy, Beatrice. Typically, I enjoy spending time with friends and family and traveling through the US and internationally.
5. What are you passionate about?
I'm passionate about the work I do as an Occupational Therapist.
6. What are some things an Occupational Therapist does to assist a patient in their home?
I like to explain to my patients that OT is all about "the occupation of living". Home health Occupational Therapy is focused on helping people be able to remain at home safely and focuses on helping people do day-to-day activities and tasks for themselves.

Right now, there's a quiet group of healthcare workers working.

We're seeing patients when they get out of the hospital, unsure how many potentially positive people they've encountered, but we're there for them.

We're determining if providing healthcare is allowed during a quarantine for a positive test.

We're navigating changing policies on how our patients qualify for our services and hoping we can fill in the gaps left by the closures of so many outpatient clinics.

We're feeling the loss of the elective post-surgical patients we normally see while preparing for the tidal wave sure to happen when those ORs open up again.

We're politely saying "see you soon" to patients who would rather not have us come to their homes right now while worrying about how they're going to fare and hoping they don't end up in the hospitals we're all working so hard to keep clear.

We're being counted on to self-monitor daily, which is fine. We're used to being fairly autonomous.

We're going out daily, usually being the point person for our household to do all required "out of home" tasks.

We're trying to be a calm in the storm for our patients who are used to being stuck at home, but now the news is TERRIFYING.

There's no one cheering outside our buildings because we work everywhere.

We're home health care, and we're here now and we're going to be here when things go back to "normal" and the recovered come home.

Stolen and shared.

Thank you to our Lee's Summit, Mo. Amedisys team for being our Superheroes! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
