NVNA and Hospice

Karen and Rob Hale continue their remarkable transformational philanthropy. We are honored and grateful to be part of their story. 

This Nurses Week, we thank all our nursing colleagues for the compassion they show to our patients and families—and congratulate Becky Primmer, RN for her recognition in The Boston Globe's 2024 Salute to Nurses. Says her patient's grateful granddaughter in the Globe nomination: "Every step of the way, she showed us grace and empathy as we navigated how to quickly step into the role of caregivers. We can’t thank Becky enough for being so wonderful to our grandfather and father and for all she has done for our entire family." Becky is pictured here at right with Nuala McDonagh, Hospice Clinical Manager. To read the full letter, click here: https://lnkd.in/eRV-2XeH

NVNA and Hospice recently held our first simulation lab training for our current home health aide team. Led by Education Manager Melinda Emery, HHA Preceptor Kim Bolduc, HHA Manager Alyssa Machovec Couturier, and OT Lisa Feingold, our aides received training on use of a Hoyer lift, use of a sit-to-stand machine, bathing techniques, and more. We are always proud to celebrate our clinical team and the excellent work they do to ensure our patients and families receive the best care possible.

NVNA and Hospice is proud to announce FreightPlus as a Premier Sponsor of The 12 2024. Since 2015, The 12 has been raising critical funds for the Pat Roche Hospice Home in Hingham, ensuring that no family is turned away due to financial limitations. To date, the event has raised over $2.5 million for patient care in the 12 rooms at the hospice home. Please visit nvna.org/the-12 for more information about this annual event. The 12 2024 will take place on June 19.

NVNA and Hospice is delighted to share that we are one of 72 organizations who received a donation from Rob Hale and his wife, Karen, as part of a $26.2 million giving effort tied to the Boston Marathon. Hale, co-founder and President of Granite Telecommunications LLC, ran the marathon for the first time on April 15. “Recognizing the immense impact the fabled Marathon has had on our proud city, we are humbled to be able to make these gifts to wonderful organizations throughout our region that support our community,’’ Hale wrote to us and the other recipients in an email letter sent moments after he crossed the finish line at Copley Square. “Please take and use this gift to further your vital mission. Together we make Boston Strong.”

NVNA and Hospice provides over 20,000 hospice visits each year to patients across the region. Sometimes, our patients and families are not prepared for discussions that pertain to end of life, and we are proud to partner with Honoring Choices MA to help them begin that conversation. As we observe National Healthcare Decisions Month, now is the perfect time to assess your own plans. Please visit https://lnkd.in/ebeXTKAg for more information.
