For 24 years, staff and volunteers at Hospice and Palliative Care of Iredell County have helped ease the dying process for countless families in the area.
Ask anyone there why they do what they do, and the answer is simple: "It's an honor and a privilege," according to President Terri Guzman.
It's hard for most of us to imagine dealing with death day in and day out the way Hospice personnel do.
It takes a great amount of strength and compassion to help clients as they enter the final stages of life and to comfort a family as their loved one passes. The folks at Hospice continue to demonstrate their dedication to the members of this community by providing a peaceful environment for our aging and terminally ill.
As with most nonprofit agencies, Guz man said, Hospice could not serve its clients as well as it does without volunteers.
"We couldn't have had this organization without them," she said.
To the volunteers and staff at Hospice, we say thank you for 24 years of selflessness.
