Team Member Stories

Many of you reading this article know that I celebrate the entire month of my birthday. I write special notes to myself, eat what I enjoy most and fill my calendar with special moments that I will spend with family and friends. I choose to celebrate because I understand the importance of being alive and having the opportunity to improve during my next trip around the sun.

At Goodwin Living, we recognize that the power of nurses lies not just in their clinical skill; it’s also in their ability to change outcomes and shape people. For Charity Ampong, Director of Clinical Services at Goodwin House Alexandria, that power has taken many forms.

At Goodwin Hospice, we believe in celebrating the dedicated professionals who make a meaningful difference in the lives of our patients and their loved ones every day. By spotlighting our team members, we hope to shed light on the empathy, expertise and heartfelt connection that define those who work in hospice care.

During Social Work Month we honor the social workers at Goodwin Hospice, team members who walk alongside patients and families from the beginning of the hospice journey to long after it ends.
