Hospice Specialist, Victoria Candelaria, said that nothing about the company has changed other than the name; all of the staff and great care services they offer have remained the same and they are still serving Artesia and all surrounding areas. The name change was made in June, and the company wanted to be sure to get the word out to the community.
Candelaria expressed her appreciation for the amazing team that works for Gentiva Hospice.
