In recognition of National Volunteer Week, we celebrate the contributions and gifts of our dedicated hospice volunteers. And even during this past year, when the pandemic altered so many practices, hospice volunteers remained in the wings, ready for an opportunity to return – or have found a safe way to let patients and families know that they were being thought of and cared for.
Volunteering is an important activity for millions of Americans, and the compassionate individuals who serve as trained hospice volunteers deserve special recognition during this week of celebration and awareness. We at Ardent have a wonderful team of about thirty, who graciously give of their time and talent. The pandemic has been an enormous challenge to our program, and we look forward to the day we can continue our good work without obstacles. Unfortunately, we had to forgo our annual luncheon but rather, acknowledged the continued support of the team with a bright blue umbrella.
Thank you to our wonderful Ardent Hospice volunteers. They make Ardent a better company by the good works they do.
My name is Jimmie Stapleton. I am the founder and CEO of Ardent Healthcare. Ardent Healthcare includes Ardent Hospice, Ardent Supportive Care, MaximaCare Home Health and Ardent at Home.
Ardent Hospice was opened in 2007 to provide care and support for individuals and families facing a life limiting illness. It was established after my wife Ellen, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer, had completed her chemo and radiation therapies. At that time, things were looking positive, and we wanted to do something for our community that had been so supportive of our family during her treatments. Unfortunately, the cancer returned a few years later, and she subsequently passed away under our care in 2010.
In the years that followed, I began to see the need to provide the same level of excellent care to patients across the continuum of care. Therefore, we have added a home health division (MaximaCare Home Health), a palliative care division (Ardent Supportive Care), and a home care division, (Ardent at Home). With the addition of these divisions, we can meet most of the post-acute care needs for you and your family in your home.
I started Ardent Hospice with my wife as my motivation to provide exceptional care and support in the patient’s home, where they are surrounded by family and where they feel most comfortable. I’m proud to say that our staff provides some of the best in home care in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.
Please let us know if we can enrich the quality of life for you or a loved one.
Sincerely,
Jimmie Stapleton – Founder and CEO
