Valencia Levesque, Health Information Specialist
“I came to HPNI because I love working with people and have always wanted to work in an environment with people who genuinely care about people. I thought what better environment than one with those who love what they do. I think the CNAs and nurses, social workers, etc. are all angels.”
Lissette, Palliative Care Administrative Assistant

“I like talking with patients on the phone and helping them with their request (whether they need a script, having symptoms or pain and relaying that message to NP or MD).
What I really like is the feeling that I am making a difference in the lives of all of our patients, Dr. Molina and Barb take care of the clinical aspect and I take care of the administrative part, I need them and they need me. We are a team. I am part of a team that improves patient’s quality of life and controls patient’s pain and symptoms.”
Ron, Social Worker

“I began working for Hospice after my father died. I wanted to give back and help others like my family and I were helped.”
Chris, Finance Manager

“I didn’t really know what a hospice was when I first came to HPNI out of college. But now, even though I work in the office, I like knowing that the work I do benefits the clinical staff and our patients. We all work together to accomplish our agency’s mission.”
Syed, M.D.
“I just love what I do. ..that I can be of help for patients and their families going through this difficult time in their lives. I try to do whatever I can to make them comfortable and put them at ease.”
Lisa, Certified Nursing Assistant

“We’ve had some pretty cool patients. I feel so privileged to be a part of this journey with my patients, and I’ve gotten more from them than I ever could have given to them. The life lessons learned…the laughter, the tears, the joy, the strength…it’s all amazing.”
Joel, Bereavement counselor and Pediatric Counselor

“I truly believe I came to this agency because of a spiritual calling to companion those who are suffering. I love working with our clients and patients. They give so much more to me than I could possibly ever give to them.”
Maria, Senior Development Officer

“I came to HPNI because I knew that working in development for an agency that provides hospice and palliative care would be rewarding and in an area close to my heart. I am inspired by not only the nursing and clinical staff at the agency, but also by its founders, volunteers, office personnel and executive leadership because of their true commitment to helping individuals have compassionate care and quality of life.”
Mary, Hospice RN
“Almost 18 yrs ago I had the opportunity to work for HNI. I thought if I didn’t like it I could do something else. Needless to say I found it the most rewarding and stimulating job that I’ve had in my long career. HNI has provided me with many wonderful learning opportunities. I have met so many special people along the way who have enriched my life and have taught me valuable life lessons. HNI is my idea of what a Hospice should be.”
Karen, Inpatient Unit RN

“A person’s end-of-life experience is an important part of life. I am privileged to care for so many individuals and their families during that time of life. The moments are sacred and special.”
Angela, Certified Nursing Assistant
“My mom suggested I work for HPNI. She’s a nurse at the Inpatient Unit in Woodstock so I knew it was a quality organization. It’s a great working environment and everyone works so well together. I am especially impressed by the quality one-on-one care that is provided to patients. I’m able to be there for the patients as long as I need to be. This allows me to do what they need, at their pace and where they are comfortable. I’m glad I took my mom’s advice.”
