VNAA 2009 Individual Care Provider of the Year Clare Foley

Clare Foley was awarded the 2009 Individual Care Provider of the Year on May 15, 2009, in San Antonio, Texas. She has been an Administrative/Clerical Hospice Volunteer with the VNA of St. Louis in St. Louis, Mo., for the past four and a half years. As a cancer survivor, Clare is able to relate to the hospice philosophy and is an inspiration to staff and volunteers and a reminder that "there is always hope in hospice."
