Representatives of Heritage Home Health & Hospice presented a $2,000 donation to Texarkana College Foundation to support TC’s Certified Nurse Aide program in memory of former employees, Shirlena Hanes and Theresa Hawkins, who both recently passed away. Both Hanes and Hawkins were long-time CNAs with Heritage who made significant impacts on the culture of the company and helped build the foundation of hospice services offered through Heritage. The ceremony, held on Wednesday, July 6, 2022, was attended by family and friends of the honorees along with TC faculty and staff, and members of the Heritage Home Health & Hospice team.
Blake Rich, Owner and CEO of Heritage Home Health & Hospice, said Shirlena Hanes and Theresa Hawkins were the backbones of Heritage Hospice.
“They had a true heart for serving others,” said Rich. “They were both employed with Heritage for a total of 6 years each, and they were loved by their patients, families, and coworkers. They truly touched the hearts of everyone they knew, and they will be greatly missed.”
