“Working in hospice allows me to utilize my skills to teach, assess, intervene and most importantly be a quiet presence, to spend time with patients and families as they travel down the road of life. We get to spend time with people during one of the most intimate and personal times of their lives. It is truly a privilege to be invited to join in the care of our patients and families.”  ~Steve Sensenich, RN, Supportive Care Team Leader, Hospice employee since 2001
