Hospice Staff Stories

Jackie Nehls’ Story

As patients and families work through the challenges of end-of-life, a specially-trained OhioHealth Hospice Chaplain like Jackie Nehls is there to provide non-judgmental and respectful spiritual support. Through encouragement and affirmation, she cares for the people who sometimes need it most—the caregivers themselves.

As an OhioHealth Hospice and Palliative Care physician, Dr. Mark Taylor works with the patient’s own primary care physician to give each patient the best quality of life through pain and symptom management.

As an OhioHealth Hospice Nurse, Jennifer Warner believes it is a privilege to be invited into a patient’s home during this time in his or her life. She enjoys sitting at the kitchen table with the patient and family to listen to their needs.
