"Genesis Hospice team works very hard to provide our patients with the best quality and patient experience,” said Jamie Moen, Genesis Director of Home & Community Services. “Although honors are nice to receive, our greatest reward comes from knowing the positive impact we have on patients when a cure is no longer possible. We are honored to be allowed to walk alongside patients and families during their end-of-life journeys."
