During National Volunteer Week, I publicly acknowledge and thank the volunteers of Hospice Community Care.

The entire staff and I value and appreciate these volunteers’ time, efforts and compassion.

Last year our volunteers provided more than 9,000 hours of service to our patients and their families. Our hospice volunteers visit with our patients in their homes and at our in-patient units in Wilkes-Barre and Dunmore, transport family members, make bereavement visits and help with various clerical functions.

I would be remiss if I didn’t also thank our very special four-legged volunteers and their owners who brighten the lives of our patients through pet therapy.

Our hospice team provides exceptional patient care, and our extraordinary volunteers are a huge part!

It was with great pleasure that I accepted the recent invitation from National Association of Homecare and Hospice‘s President, Val Halamandaras, to represent NAHC for Pennsylvania at a reception being hosted by Senator Bob Dole for Speaker of the House John Boehner on February 28.

Not only was it a wonderful opportunity to advocate for homecare, hospice, and healthcare in general, but I had the additional honor of being allowed to bring along my 7-year old future Senator, Aidan Burchianti (shown here with Speaker Boehner)!

In addition to meeting and visiting with Speaker Boehner, Aidan and I got to meet and talk to Congressmen Meehan of Pennsylvania, Bass of New Hampshire, Latham of Iowa, Paulsen of Minnesota and West of Florida.  Everyone was extremely gracious to Aidan and me.

Aidan represented Celtic Healthcare in the Green Scrubs that we at Celtic have come to be almost famous for in our areas of Western, Central, and Northeastern PA and Montgomery and Baltimore Counties in Maryland.

My future Senator charmed the gracious ladies and gentlemen so much that we were invited for a special private tour of the Capitol the following day.

What a privilege for me to not only represent NAHC and Celtic Healthcare to some important government leaders, but also to make lifetime memories with my son.  Another day in the life of a CEO?  I think not….  so this is one that will remain in my memory bank for a lifetime too.  Special thanks to all the wonderful people from NAHC and Speaker Boehner’s office for this opportunity.

(And, after a long day –  all future politicians need sustenance…. Aidan chose a corn dog.)
