These nominations honor the VA Hospice team at the John L. McClellan Veterans Hospital, including nurses Sarah Rogers, Laurie, Angel, and Sam, aide Angela, and the Palliative Care team. One family, grieving the recent loss of a stepmother before losing their father, credits the team with caring for him with dignity while also patiently supporting them through exhaustion and grief. Another family highlights Sarah Rogers specifically for her gentle care of their father and the way she checked in daily on the whole family. Both nominations recognize the compassion this team shows veterans and their loved ones, especially those without family present at the end.
