Hudson Valley Hospice Celebrates Nurses Everywhere for Their Life-Changing Work

Hudson Valley Hospice is proud to honor its incredible team of nurses who serve with compassion, skill, and unwavering dedication in every role. Their LPNs, registered nurses, case managers, triage, on-call nurses, and nurse practitioners bring comfort, dignity, and hope to patients and their loved ones every day. 

This year, leaders are especially proud to celebrate three Hudson Valley Hospice nurses who have been nominated for Hudson Valley Magazine’s 2025 Excellence in Nursing Awards. Congratulations to:

• Lawrence Clayton, RN, CHPN
• Jennifer Minckler, RN, CHPN
• Yunhee Pettibone, RN

The dedication Hudson Valley Hospice nurses bring to end-of-life care is nothing short of extraordinary. Every day, they support over 600 patients and their loved ones across Dutchess and Ulster counties, providing respect, kindness, and support when it matters most. The heartfelt testimonials leaders receive often speak not just to the exceptional care patients receive, but to the profound impact nurses have on friends and families.
