Thank you for your courage, President Carter. #candlesforcarter

By delivering care at home the staff at VT's home health and hospice agencies are able to check-in on the health and wellbeing of their patients during a visit; one of the many benefits a robust home health and long-term care at home system has! https://t.co/Cvevb2y5A0

Our member agencies provide compassionate hospice care services to Vermonters across the state.

Time and time again we hear from them that it is never to early to start talking about hospice care, and what our goals are for end of life. https://t.co/YE70OOJs4Y

Today is #NationalHealthcareDecisionsDay: an important reminder about the important of advance care planning!

Talking about what is most important to you for end of life care is a great way to inspire others to do the same. #NHDD2024 https://t.co/CfeYlhJv2n

Today is #NationalHealthcareDecisionsDay!

Conversations about the care we receive and how we want to receive it at the end of life are never easy but they're so important.

Starting by talking about what's most important to you can inspire others to do the same. #NHDD2024

She has impacted our entire system of home-based care and it’s a little hard to imagine it without her.
Her retirement is well deserved, and she will be deeply missed!

Sara's leadership has extended well beyond VNAHSR, through her mentorship of other home health and hospice leaders and work on the VNAs of Vermont board.

Home health was founded and professionalized by women, and to this day the majority of the home health and hospice workforce is women who work tirelessly to care for our neighbors and loved ones in communities across the country. #WomensHistoryMonth https://t.co/DQQbFQYHUq
