May 11, 2020 – During the last several months, Americans have practiced
social distancing and self-isolation in the attempt to help prevent the
spread of coronavirus, especially to those who have underlying health
conditions that put them most at risk. A testament to our community, however,
is the ability to demonstrate gratitude and grace even under tremendous
stress, such as we have endured the latter half of 2020. Hospice of the
Golden Isles is one such community organization putting the “care”
in health care.
A health care organization themselves, Hospice of the Golden Isles appreciates
the sacrifice that health care workers make everyday, putting their own
lives at risk for the privilege of helping to improve the health of the
community. In honor of that appreciation, they donated four banners to
Southeast Georgia Health System to be displayed at their Brunswick and
Camden campuses and Senior Care Centers in Brunswick and St. Marys.
“Hospice of the Golden Isles greatly values our longstanding strategic
partnership with Southeast Georgia Health System,” says Karen Miller,
CEO, Hospice of the Golden Isles. “During the COVID-19 crisis, our
Board of Directors and team are especially grateful for the Health System’s
leadership and for the dedication of their team members that demonstrates
what it means to be healthcare heroes in the midst of unprecedented challenges
and uncertainty.”
Hospice of the Golden Isles provides expert, compassionate care for patients
with advanced illnesses and their families in Glynn, McIntosh, Camden,
Brantley and Charlton counties. They work in coordination with Southeast
Georgia Health System to provide a seamless continuum of care.
“We so appreciate Karen’s gesture and kind words. Hospice of
the Golden Isles is fighting on the front lines as well, providing expert
care for our community’s hospice population during this health crisis,” says
Michael D. Scherneck, President & CEO, Southeast Georgia Health System. “And we thank
all of our health care workers, at our facilities and throughout the community,
for their dedication and sacrifice.”
