In the spirit of celebrating the extraordinary qualities that reside within our team, we proudly introduce the "Next Step Recognition Award." This award serves as a testament to the unsung heroes among us, nominated by their peers, whose daily actions embody selflessness, empathy, caring, sympathy, tenderness, and so much more. These remarkable individuals inspire us not in pursuit of recognition but simply because that is who they are.

Today, we recognize Jessica Broyles, an Office Coordinator for Harbor Hospice of Liberty.

Please take a moment to read what her coworkers are saying!

Kind words from a coworker:
Jessica always goes above and beyond to help me feel supported. She is very kindhearted and takes the time to answer questions thoroughly, explain things clearly, and make sure those around her have everything they need.
