On this #NursingSupportWorkersDay, we’re celebrating people like Emma Brown, who dedicate their lives to caring for others. Their commitment makes a significant difference in the lives of individuals we care for and their loved ones. Emma began at Saint Francis Hospice volunteering during the pandemic in 2020, and her time spent with the individuals in palliative care inspired her to join as a Health Care Assistant (HCA) shortly after. She also became one of our corneal donation advocates on the Ward and often meets with people to tell them about the life-changing impact of organ donation. Through this work Emma has contributed to restoring sight to countless individuals including many young people. As a Healthcare Assistant, Emma plays a vital role in ensuring people we care for receive the highest quality of care and we can’t thank her and the rest of the SFH team enough!
