Pamela “PJ” Storley was inspired to become a nurse through serving as a devoted caregiver for her husband. “He always noticed how much I loved taking care of people, and encouraged me to go to nursing school.”
In preparing a patient’s Gift of a Day, we always ask our patients what they would do if they could have one perfect day. For one patient named May, it was easy: she would have just one more family reunion.
At Crossroads Hospice, we give our patients the opportunity to make their dreams come true; to have one day that’s all their own. We call this opportunity theGift of a Dayprogram.
One patient, Glen Markel, wanted to spend his Gift of a Day reliving his dancing days, getting lost in the music and the movement, and taking the time to remember his past.
