Virginia Russell is our volunteer of the week!

Unity’s hospice program provides care for people who have a prognosis of six months or less and are not receiving curative treatment. Their goal is to allow people to live with dignity and self-determination and to make sure they feel supported on this journey. Virginia is a retired Air Force staff sergeant, and she focuses her energies on providing care and support for Unity’s veteran hospice patients. Most of her time is spent one-on-one with these patients, listening to their stories and sharing experiences of their time in service. 

Virginia also supports her patients by taking part in veteran pinning ceremonies, which recognize veterans for their time in service. She will do this in both individual and group settings. In one instance, a patient died before a pinning ceremony could be planned. At the family’s request, Virginia agreed to perform the ceremony posthumously at the funeral home. It meant the world to this family that their loved one was shown the honor and respect he deserved before being buried. 

Virginia is a true partner in a patient’s care, working closely with other team members to figure out how to best serve patients. She uses her very presence to communicate with them, understanding how holding someone’s hand or a light touch on a caregiver’s shoulder can often convey a much stronger message than words alone. Virginia often is assigned three, four, or five patients at a time, visiting them in private homes, hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. It is commonplace for her to drive hundreds of miles in a month’s time to visit these patients. Thank you, Virginia! The veteran patients, families, staff, and fellow volunteers at Unity are grateful for your commitment to those you serve.
