Access Home Care and Hospice's Harlem Shake

Along with the rest of the company, the Salt Lake City, Utah office recently had their Core Value meeting. The meeting is designed to promote Access Home Care and Hospice's three core values:

1. Accountability - We are accountable for our actions 100% of the time, with zero excuses
2. Customer Service - We are a customer service company that does home care and hospice
3. Teamwork - We divide the task and multiply the successes

In an effort to display teamwork, the Salt Lake City office put together Access' first ever Harlem Shake.  Please watch the video and enjoy a great display of teamwork!

ACCESS HOMECARE AND HOSPICE PROUD TO SPONSOR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT

Access Home Care and Hospice is proud to serve our local communities and support the endeavors of local students. An example of this support is to a very determined and  gifted high school student in southern Idaho.

Tyona Carter is presently a junior at Preston High School in Preston, Idaho. We heard about her unique opportunity from her mother, MaRee Carter (who happens to be one of our exceptional hospice nurses). We were intrigued by her story and her determination to one day become an anesthesiologist.  She was selected to represent her high school to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum of Medicine in New York City. There are only a select few students who earn this opportunity nationwide. Access feels it a privilege to help get her to New York. She and the other students who have been selected throughout the country will be able to visit the New York University School of Medicine, New York Institute of Technology, College of Osteopathic Medicine and other prestigious institutions of education. She will also be afforded the opportunity to observe surgical procedures and assist in an emergency room, receiving valuable hands-on exposure to the field of medicine.  

Access Home Care and Hospice is excited for her and the things she will learn to help her get a few steps closer to her dream of becoming an anesthesiologist. We recognize the value of local people caring for their friends and neighbors. We wish Tyona the very best and we will be following her progress throughout the years as she gets closer to realizing her dream.  Congratulations, Tyona, and best wishes for a bright future!!!

Access' Own Wound and Ostomy Certified Nurse

Access Home Care and Hospice has many qualified CNA's, nurses, and physicians in various practical disciplines that greatly enhance the level of care that we provide.  One certification that is extremely helpful to physicians, hospitals, and the community at large is that of wound and ostomy care.  The Morning News in Blackfoot, Idaho agreed and recognized Valerie Pascoe, RN Director for Access Home Care and Hospice. She received her certification through the National Alliance of Wound Care. To learn more about what that entails, go here.  

As a wound specialist, Valerie also is a source of knowledge and expertise to the rest of the Access Home Care staff.  Access Home Care is proud to offer the most cutting edge home health to the communities in Eastern Idaho, Northern Utah, and Western Wyoming.
