O F C OM P A S S I ON Our Mission
What was world news in the second quarter of our fiscal year became local news as the pandemic found its way to our corner of the world in February of 2020.
We met daily, prepared, and seemingly overnight initiated a work-from-home order in accordance with local, state, and federal guidelines. This meant that hundreds of our 1,000- person staff across 16 counties would now require laptops, and other job-specific equipment, to stay connected to ensure our mission of compassion. Technology was in short supply, and when it was available, shipping was problematic. This was the beginning of what would become our new normal, and we were determined to innovate at every turn. Also in limited supply during the early months of 2020 was personal protective equipment (PPE). Thanks to the tireless efforts of our people and our board of directors, Community Hospice & Palliative Care was able to secure and store ample supplies of PPE. Our donors answered the call for assistance and helped fund the enormous unexpected and unbudgeted expense of protecting our people, our patients, and their families. Their financial support protected and saved lives, while old and new community partners such as Manifest Distillery, Bacardi, David Thompson’s Bridal, and Home Instead Senior Care donated and discounted supplies to keep us operational.
