Helios Care Honors Aide at Opry

Helios Care’s Grand Oneonta Opry, on Saturday, October 21 at Foothills PAC, was a major success! The performing artists rocked the house and gave the crowd an amazing show. The night would not have been possible without Country Club Auto Group, the Foothills PAC staff, and the very talented artists: The Driftwoods, Jason Wicks, Ken Wilber, Krystal Poole, Beth Patella, Nate Gross, Linda Thompson, special guest Eric Haight, Doug Decker, and the Stoddard Hollow String Band.

At intermission, Helios Care honored Paula Morrell, one of our home health aides, who is retiring after 33 years of service to the organization. Helios Care held a private reception in celebration of Paula’s retirement for her family and friends. Paula Morrell has long been known as “the face” of hospice, as she has touched the lives of so many.

Helios Care graciously thanks Paula for her dedication and commitment to all of her patients and their families. Both the performers and Paula left the crowd on their feet; thanks to all for an amazing night!

Dan Ayres
President and CEO of Helios Care
