Hospice Staff Testimonials

"As Manager of Volunteer Services for Silverado Hospice in Orange County for the past five years, I think I have the best job in the company! I am able to recruit and manage the most loving, compassionate volunteers ever. I am part of the management team and participate in making all kinds of decisions. I can utilize my writing skills and creativity in the everyday operation of the volunteer program and for Silverado in general. When I am in the capacity of spiritual counselor, I am able to offer patients and families support and guidance.
My co-workers are amazing people who are dedicated to the care of all of our patients who are at the end-of-life. I am constantly learning from them and drawing strength from them. I believe that our true purposes on this earth are to love and to serve. It has been my privilege to love and to serve the patients of Silverado Hospice."
