⭐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 Pamela Clear, a Certified Nurse Assistant at Harbor Hospice of Longview.

Please take a moment to read what her coworkers are saying!

Kind words from a coworker:
Pamela goes above and beyond in all that she does. Her caring personality shines in her interactions with patients, families, and coworkers. She goes the extra mile for all of her patients. She is an amazing person and a real asset to Harbor Hospice and the people we serve.
