Compass Regional Hospice Nurse Receives Caregiver Award

CENTREVILLE — Christy Breeding, an RN Case Manager with Compass Regional Hospice, is the most recent recipient of the Fellows, Helfenbein and Newnam Hospice Caregivers Award.

While each staff member of Compass Regional Hospice is committed to the mission, providing comprehensive, professional and compassionate end‐of‐life care and support, Breeding was nominated by a patient’s family for going above and beyond in the care that she had provided to their loved one.

Willis has been caring for patients at Compass Regional Hospice since March of 2019. The nominator wrote, “There are just no words for express how grateful we are for the kindness and compassion Christy shared with our beloved Poppy and our entire family—she was even kind to Poppy’s dog. She was a light and a comfort in our darkest hours. She was available for advice, kind words and came to our aid as we were unsure of what Poppy needed. She is an amazing person and very deserving of this award.”

The quarterly Fellows, Helfenbein and Newnam Hospice Caregivers Award is open to physicians, nurses, social workers, bereavement counselors, hospice aides, chaplains, administrative staff and volunteers of Compass Regional Hospice who care for patients in Queen Anne’s, Kent and Caroline counties.
