Heroic Hospice Nurse Recognized By Local Press
PDF
Winter may have officially wrapped up, but the goodwill generated by hard-working hospice workers caring for their patients in the worst weather is still going strong. Case in point: In Michigan, a Hospice of the EUP nurse is being hailed as an “angel in snowshoes” for strapping on the footwear to visit a hospice patient in need of a visit, reports news station 9&10 News in Traverse City. Nurse Nancy Miller snowshoed about a half-mile in blizzard conditions when the bad weather prevented the regularly scheduled hospice nurse from making her visit via car. The hospice, run by the Chippewa County Health Department, would have sent a snowmobile out with a nurse if Miller hadn’t been able to walk to the patient’s home, Miller told the news station.
