In its inaugural year, the Leader of the Year Award was given to Jessica Martin, RN, BSN. To be named Leader of the Year an individual must demonstrate compassion, outstanding leadership, hold themselves and others accountable, while functioning with the utmost humility.

Jessica has been with VNA & Blue Water Hospice since 2018 and is currently the Director of Hospice at the Blue Water Hospice Home. Several of her staff nominated her, all listing her willingness to help – no matter day or night. “Jessica is the kind of manager anyone would be lucky to have. She hops right in to help with anything a patient needs. She listens to employees and you can talk about anything with her” says a staff member.

Congratulations, Jessica Martin – 2020 Leader of the Year!
