When Dan first joined the Board at VNAHSR, he focused on learning the finances and governance operations of VNAHSR. Then, when a person in his life became ill with terminal cancer, he had the chance to see the high-quality day-to-day compassionate care provided by the nurses and other direct-service caregivers.
Dan was often there when VNAHSR caregivers arrived. He says, “They were so amazing. They gave so much love – so much of themselves – knowing the outcome will be a person’s passing, how do they do that every day?”
The experience gave Dan a deeper understanding of the work VNAHSR does and the profound impact its caregivers have on patients and families during some of life’s most difficult moments. What began as a commitment to understanding the organization from a boardroom perspective became something much more personal: a firsthand appreciation for the people who make VNAHSR’s mission possible.
