I will work from home, here in Tulsa, using technology to train and support new programs. I will also travel periodically to Portland, Oregon to the BCT headquarters and probably to other places as things unfold. That means I will continue to work with Hospice of Green Country as I support the program here and the local pet/rescue organizations as well. Am I blessed or what!!

What a moving story and wonderful way to honor our patients by providing such an important service. As an animal lover, I often think about how stressful it must be for patients and their caregivers to worry about this when so many other changes are happening. How wonderful to have that peace of mind, to know your beloved pet will be safe and cared for.
