This month, Capstone Hospice is honored to spotlight Heather Okuda as our Hero of the Month. Heather’s commitment to hospice care is not just a profession but a divine calling, a sacred vocation that she embraces with every fiber of her being. Through her work, Heather becomes a beacon of peace, comfort, and unconditional love, guiding souls and their families at the threshold of life and eternity.
Heather views her role in hospice as an act of service, a testament to the sanctity of life’s final chapter. She believes in the eternal interconnectedness of all beings, offering support that transcends physical care to touch the spiritual essence of those in her care. Her dedication is a reflection of her commitment to practice compassion and empathy in their highest forms, serving as a servant of God during the most challenging times.
What stands out about working at Capstone for Heather is the company’s foundation on faith. This alignment with her own values allows her to practice her vocation within a supportive environment that understands and cherishes the significance of her work. Capstone’s ethos fosters a space where Heather can thrive, guided by her faith and dedication to serving others with love and respect.
