Comments from Board Members:

Mayzelle Hoyt-Rhoten
"My mother was on RVNA & Hospice three times, before her passing and received amazing care, with dignity and respect for her condition and age.  Hospice has had my heart ever since, and I only hope other families feel the same as I do, for the dedication of the staff, and caring for the families." 

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."
