Chuck Seigneurie was given the 2020 Dr. Elmore Shoudy Award during a special presentation at the Blue Water Hospice Home. The award is named after Blue Water Hospice founder, Dr. Elmore Shoudy, and is given to an employee of the Hospice division who provides extraordinary care to patients and families dealing with a terminal illness.

Chuck has been with the agency since 2019 and works in the kitchen creating spectacular meals for patients. Often you will find him out of the kitchen interacting with a patient and their family. “Chuck has one of those infectious personalities that make it so you cannot help but feel comfortable around him and smile. He strives to make patients feel like the Hospice Home is their home. He goes out of his way for not only patients and families, but also the staff. He embodies the mission of the agency.”

A patient’s husband added “you can tell Chuck makes all of the meals with love. He takes the time, so it not only tastes good, but looks good too…that’s someone who loves what they do.”

After being surprised with the award, Chuck said “after 35 years in management, in a position I had to be the hard guy…I retired. Now I’m here, and this feels like this is exactly where I’m supposed to be. I’m happy and enjoy coming here every day.”

Congratulations, Chuck Seigneurie – 2020 Dr. Elmore Shoudy Award winner!
