 My name is Jessica Wright, and I'm a medical social worker with Mid-Michigan Homecares Hospice Program. I actually started with the program as a volunteer when I was 16, and I was able to see what amazing care that they provided patients then. And now, as a social worker with the program, it's really my privilege to be able to help patients and their families throughout such a difficult time. Mid-Michigan's Hospice Program is there to teach, provide comfort and support to patients throughout end of life. However, I found that patients and their families are really the ones who teach us. They teach us about hope, about faith, love, and how to cherish every moment. It's truly our honor to provide care to them. I'm Jackie Mates, a registered nurse with the Mid-Michigan Homecare Hospice Program. People often ask me why I became a hospice nurse, and my most common reply is that I take it as an honor and a privilege to enter a patient and family's home during this transition to help make the dying process as comfortable as possible. I was inspired to be a hospice nurse myself when several years ago my own dad passed away under the kind, compassionate care of the Mid-Michigan Homecare team. And I just take it again as a privilege and an honor to do the same for others.
