January 7, 2019 Blount Memorial Hospice Care (BMHC) volunteers were recognized for their incredible mission to give supportive care to people in the final phase of a terminal illness and focus on comfort and quality of life, rather than cure. The goal is to enable patients to be comfortable and free of pain, so that they live each day as fully as possible.
Anne Van Curen, BSRN Volunteer Coordinator organized the luncheon and invited their We Honor Veterans Partner, Vet to Vet Tennessee (VTVT), to participate in the celebration and to recognize the dedication and service of Blount County citizen Donna Kopsell. [read more read less]
VTVT President Ed Junod and VTVT member Pat Calabro presented a 30 minutes summary of VTVT’s 15 free programs. After the presentation, Anne introduced BMHC volunteer Donna Kopsell and acknowledged her for her service to veterans and their families. Donna has made over 200 American flag blankets for veterans in BMHC.
In recognition of Donna’s outstanding service and sacrifice, VTVT presented Donna with the George A. Thomas Memorial Award. Donna was extremely appreciative and humbled by the recognition. We are grateful to Donna and all the hospice care providers at BMHC. God bless their commitment, faith and love. [/read]
