What leaders have to say about Yetagesu:
Yetagesu was my grandmother’s home hospice nurse, and I cannot express in words how his dedication to clinical care, comfort, and communication made all the difference not only for my grandmother, but also for my mom and uncle. He checked in with us, he came to the hospital to see her after an unexpected event, and ultimately helped us facilitate a smooth transition to the Fort Worth hospice house. He had built a rapport with my uncle and family that made all the difference. He spent time to listen, understand, comfort, and explain what was going on. He’s truly a special member of your team in Plano.

What guidance or words of wisdom would you share with those who want to follow a similar path to yours?
1. Let your patient know they are your priority. 2. Don’t make assumptions.
