Comments from
Present and Past 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 every since, and I
only hope other families feel the same
as I do, for the dedication of the
staff, and caring for the families."
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."
