Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) Vera Hanson has been a strong and compassionate force at Crossroads Hospice & Palliative Care since 2011. This National CNA Week, June 12 – 18, is an opportune time to highlight Hanson, a caregiver in the Philadelphia area whose devotion, humility and loving heart has made her a cornerstone of Crossroads.
Crossroads Hospice began in Oklahoma as a small family-owned hospice care provider in 1995 with two guiding principles: 1. You shouldn’t die in pain. 2. You shouldn’t die alone. 28 years later, those two principles still guide our care.
As we head into the Thanksgiving, we want to take a moment to thank each member of the Crossroads family for all you do for our patients and our team. When a group of dedicated individuals comes together around the idea of putting patients first, we can do great things!
At Crossroads Hospice & Palliative Care, we take great pride in supporting our nation’s Veterans as they approach end of life. A cornerstone of this care is our Veteran Recognition Ceremony which pays tribute to the service of our Veteran patients.
As a 23-year-old social work student looking for an internship, Colleen Dietmeyer wasn’t sure hospice was going to be the right fit for her career. Now she’s the Executive Director of Crossroads Hospice & Palliative Care in St. Louis, MO and can’t imagine doing anything else.
When a patient needs hospice care, time is of the essence. Crossroads Hospice & Palliative Care recognizes this, and that’s why we offer same-day admissions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
