The name of the company I work for is called VITAS Innovative Hospice Care. Vitas is a Latin word which means life. Although we are in the field of death and dying, we want the world to know that ultimately, we are about quality of life, before death. We go to business fairs and conventions to promote our company. A few years ago, I was at a church fair with other vendors. We had a nice table set up with literature about Vitas, we had pens and mugs and tea shirts with Vitas written all over them. We also had a huge banner that said: Vitas Hospice. This nice lady walked up to my table and said: I have a score to settle with your company. She was angry. She said that her husband was on hospice care for three months. He is now dead and buried, …show more content…
As hard as I try to keep awareness alive, sometimes I do things in a hurry, and make mistakes. The story I told you is one example. After that, I was very careful and began paying more attention to life. But I failed again. I got an automated message from the County library that the book I had put on hold had arrived. So I went to my home-town library: Northwest Regional Library in Coral Springs. That is the library I always go to, but my book was not there! The clerk told me that it was at Northwest Library in Pompano Beach. There are three libraries in Broward County with basically the same name that unless you pay close attention to, you will make a mistake: Northwest in Pompano Beach, North Regional in Coconut Creek, and Northwest Regional in Coral Springs. When I had placed the hold on the book, I had clicked the wrong branch because I didn't pay attention. I did not get upset with the clerk when she told me that the book was not there. I did not blame myself for making a careless mistake. I did not get aggravated for going to the wrong branch. I took it in stride. It was a learning experience in awareness. The lesson for me is, SLOW DOWN, TAKE A DEEP BREATH, and PAY

Medicare beneficiaries might need to jump through some hoops to get that palliative care. Hospice is one of the services covered for Medicare beneficiaries and is obviously a necessary service at the end of life. In the past, Hospice had four benefit periods, two-90 day periods, one-30 day period and one unlimited period. Prior to 1998, if a member entered the unlimited period but did not die, they lost all future Medicare Hospice coverage.
CVS Health prides itself on initiatives such as the “Be The First” Campaign and also partners with managed health care companies to provide paramount care at affordable costs. One example is a recent partnership with BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee. By opening a CarePlus CVS/pharmacy at the BCBST campus CVS Health is able to service the needs of the BCBST employees while keeping out-of-pocket costs and overall health care costs low (BCBST/CVS, 2009, p. 11). As for corporate social responsibility, CVS Health has a program in place which “asks participants to pay a $50 deposit, which they will get back upon successfully completing the program. They are also rewarded with $700 from the company” (700 good reasons, 2015, p. 20).

I guess she knew her son didn't make it. I tried to hold her but she fought free, dropping on the floor in a reeling motion. "I'm sorry." was all I could say.
And I 've pulled off most of the paper, so you can 't put me back!" "Now why should that man have fainted? But he did, and right across my path by the wall, so that I had to creep over him every time!" This might of gave a feel that she did not care about her husband, but only because she did not do anything to help him when he fainted. She left him lying on the floor walking over him every time she went
At that time I was struggling in life; I was downsized out of my part-time job that I really enjoyed, my family had to put down the dog that I grew up with, and I found myself with a lack of motivation. After consulting with my parents, I immediately signed up for the next class, beginning in November
Ever since entering community college, my goal was to serve in the health care field with a business degree. The hospice and home care volunteer opportunity that was presented to me solidified my foundation that I want to really work in the health care field and also working for them. In summer 2016, I worked as a receptionist for their physical therapy clinic at Oakland Chinatown in Oakland. The job was enriching to me and taught me a little bit about working in the health field. It was a challenge to serve the majority Asian clientele that most of the time did not speak any English.
She said, “My life now is not how I predicted it to be. I must rely on my family, especially my daughter, to help take care of my husband and I because I’m getting to where I can’t. If it wasn’t for her coming over every morning and night, I don’t know what we would have done. My son doesn’t live as close as she does, but he will help us by driving us to the doctor sometimes. We have both been to a nursing home in the past, and although they were good to us, it is nice to be home.
Also when she was with her family watching walter cronkite she wanted to say something really mean and childish(with a really bad attitude) like “I told you so.” or something like that but she held it in. Even though she made a new friend went to california with him without even knowing him for that long. But she only did that to find herself.
Through serving others, I have come to realize that every person, regardless of one’s cultural background, has something to offer to the community. As an immigrant, I was quite hesitant about accepting new challenges. The fear of others’ judgment regarding my performance hindered my progress. However, through serving others in various capacities, I was able to interact and help people in my community, who themselves helped me overcome my fears. Whether helping patients at St. John Providence or assisting refugees at the American Red Cross, I was amazed as to how much my presence made a difference, especially for those who needed me to interpret for them.
His reaction was full of sadness and disappointment because she was his only child. It seemed that he had hope in her for future benefits and felt mostly sad about the wedding than her death. He said “Uncomfortable time, why camest thou now To murder, murder our solemnity?”. This refers to him saying that why couldnt death come another time instead of her wedding day so that he could be happy. He also said, “All things that we ordained festival Turn from their office to black funeral.
With her saying “Patrick, How are you doing?” (Mary 3) right as soon as she walked in from the store, even though she knows he is on the ground dead. If she was really upset, then in the first place she would have told someone. Instead she was scared and tried acting like she wasn’t a coward.
One Possible reason for her behavior and mental instability. She spoke of her mother dying slowly at the hospital due to kidney failure but that she believed her father drove her away in the ambulance to die. She
