Comments from Board Members:

Mark Shabashov, Rph
The Corner Drug Store
“I volunteer as Board member for both Ramona VNA and Hospice and Hemet Hospice Volunteers, Inc. and currently serve as chairman of the Board. I volunteer for both organizations because my background as a pharmacist allows me to help in special ways. Both organizations help ill or dying patients where I am sure I or someone I know will need these services. If I can help in any way making these services a little better or just to continue the high quality we already provide, then I feel good about the work I have done.”

Kevin Farrenkopf
President and CEO for The Bank of Hemet
"RVNA is a tremendous organization, comprised of people with hearts of gold. The benefit they provide to the community is significant, and playing a very small part is both gratifying and rewarding.  The Bank of Hemet has supported RVNA for a number of years, and it will for many years to come.
We feel blessed to have RVNA as a key part of our community."

"We can't thank you enough for all your tender loving care you gave to all of us during our time of loss.  Thank you also for the thoughtful notes and cards." - M Family
