​The 60 plus members of Hospice of the Western Reserve’s Triage, On-Call and Go Where Needed (GWN) teams have dedicated their careers to serving some of our community’s most vulnerable residents. They provide expert care, guidance and emotional support to families when most people are sound asleep. They are the first voice of hospice for those seeking help, they travel across 11 counties to deliver support wherever it is needed most and they provide expert 24/7 guidance to family care givers over the hotline. These are just a few of their many responsibilities.

Santa can’t be everywhere. So sometimes he has some very special people filling in for him. Family members of the Jindra family have taken turns donning a Santa suit and gathering up a dedicated group of “elves” to spread holiday cheer at medical centers in Cleveland every Christmas morning for the past 101 years. They are carrying on a century-old family tradition started by his great-grandfather in 1916.
