Hospice Austin Standard Bearer of 2017 Erik Secrest
Announcing our Standard Bearer for 2017: Erik Secrest!
Years before our organization began a conversation about the RIGHT way Standards of Behavior, Erik was living out those characteristics day after day. For almost 20 years, Erik has served at the “heart” of Hospice Austin’s Christopher House as the Unit Clerk. We have a fireplace in the living room at Hospice Austin’s Christopher House where people can warm themselves on cold days.
