💙 Celebrating the Hearts Behind Good Shepherd Hospice 💙

As a team, we come together with Derick the COO of Good Shepherd Hospice to celebrate the incredible people who make a difference every single day as part of the Good Shepherd Hospice family.

Yesterday, we had the honor of celebrating our Employee of the Year awards, nominated by the very people who work alongside these amazing individuals every day. These awards are a reflection of not only outstanding work, but also the compassion, dedication, and heart they bring to our patients, families, and team.

✨ Faith Wiggans — Employee & PCM of the Year
Faith was recognized for her inspirational leadership, unwavering dedication, and commitment to exceptional patient care. She leads with compassion and consistently makes a difference for both our patients and our team.

✨ Mark Hollis — Chaplain/Bereavement Coordinator of the Year
Mark has a monumental impact on the lives of our patients and families. Through his compassion, presence, and support, he walks alongside families during some of life’s most difficult moments.

✨ Brittany Colgan — Business Office Manager of the Year
Brittany truly is the glue that helps keep everything moving. Her dedication and willingness to support our staff, patients, and families make an incredible difference every day.

To Faith, Mark, Brittany, and every member of our Good Shepherd Hospice team — THANK YOU. ❤️

It takes an entire team to provide exceptional hospice care, and we are incredibly proud of the people who make up our Good Shepherd family.

Thank you to everyone who helps make Good Shepherd Hospice — Springfield, Lebanon, Branson, and Joplin — one of the best hospice programs around.

The Gift of Choosing Hospice Sooner 💙

One of the biggest misconceptions about hospice is that it’s only for the final days of life. In reality, choosing hospice sooner gives patients and families the opportunity to focus on what truly matters—living each day with comfort, dignity, and support.

Hospice isn’t about giving up. It’s about gaining:
💙 More quality time with the people you love.
💙 Expert management of pain and symptoms.
💙 Emotional and spiritual support for patients and families.
💙 Guidance through difficult decisions.
💙 Peace of mind knowing you’re not walking this journey alone.

The earlier hospice care begins, the more our team can help improve quality of life, provide personalized care, and support the entire family every step of the way.

If you or someone you love has been facing frequent hospitalizations, declining health, or a life-limiting illness, it may be time to have the hospice conversation. It could be one of the most meaningful gifts you give yourself or someone you love.
