MAKE LIFE B EE
Eva Sylvester felt she "found my life's
purpose" after her first day as a hospice
social worker in Florida 21 years ago. "I felt
lucky," recalls Sylvester, director for St. John
Hospice. "I love this work."
Eva works closely with Jewish Hospice &
Chaplaincy Network to make the end of
life better for terminally ill patients and
their families. St. John provides medical
support; JHCN provides emotional and
spiritual support.
"They are a true partner in making a
difference for Jewish patients. They are
pioneers doing something that never
before has been done, and they are there
for the right reasons."
