“WVH was amazing during the final months of my father’s life. The kindness, consideration and skill in which each person handled their job made a tremendous difference. Leslie gave my Dad the showers, when that was still possible and we were in awe how a 20+ year professional could handle such difficult task. Jillian sang like an angel and played her violin and guitar. That touched everyone’s heart. I can’t say enough about nurse Kelly, who called me late in the evening – on her way home – just to provide update. Awesome WVH staff! Thank you too, Vern our volunteer. It truly takes a community of caring professionals to help a family through such a difficult season. Remarkable people.”

"I love this branch of hospice. They helped take care of my dad at the end stage of cancer a year and a half ago. And more recently my mother with her cancer 2 weeks ago. They are always there when you need them. And do a wonderful job. Thank you guys for what you do." - Holly
