Mothers are truly special, and this Mother’s Day, we invite you to share a story about what your mother means to you.
Today, we’re honored to share a heartfelt story from one of our team members about his mom—a woman whose compassion and dedication defined what it means to care for others:
“When I think of nurses and a story of care that truly means something, I think of my mother. She was a CNA for 10 years before going back to school to become an LVN at the age of 50. She graduated top of her class, and our entire family was there celebrating—so proud of her.
She dedicated over 20 years to caring for patients in a nursing facility in my hometown. These weren’t just patients—they were neighbors, friends, and family we had known all our lives.
During COVID, she continued showing up every day to protect and care for her patients and our community. She gave her life protecting them.
Today, in my role at Hospice Austin & Austin Palliative Care, I feel closer to her than ever. In every interview I conduct, I ask myself, ‘Who would mom choose to care for her patients and our community?’”
