But now, along with that, I talk with pa- tients and their caregivers once a week,” Telvin said. “Sometimes it’s just busi- ness but other times the patient is alone — and they just want to talk to some- one that will listen. Some people don’t want to talk about it at all, and you get that from the tone of their voice, and some of them want to tell you their life story.” Tevlin has been involved with hospice before she and her late husband moved to Florence. Her experiences during that time have in- formed her current work. However, she admits that her age is becoming more of a factor in life, causing her to step back from her work. “I’m 89 and I figure it is time to retire,” Telvin said. “Just being with people who are in crisis is re-ally important. When I worked with OB-GYN patients — and especially when I worked with oncology patients — I wasn’t on a time schedule, so I could spend time with them and hold their hand. I’ve been through it, so it was easier for me to anticipate what they were feeling.” The work done by Tevlin is important, according to Karin Guy, volunteer co- ordinator for the PHPH Home Health and Hospice program. “When I met Eunice earlier this year, I was impressed with her pro- fessionalism and grace. She shared that she made weekly phone calls to our hospice patients and fam- ilies, not only asking what medications and supplies they needed, but making that important connection with someone who needs someone to just listen,” Guy said. “She provides a listening ear when the family or caregiver may be feeling overwhelmed and tired.” Guy explained that get- ting a call from Eunice sounds like a breath of fresh air because it’s not simply a call to check on supplies, but much more important than that. “And as we transition to a new electronic medical record system, this import- ant service to our patients and families will continue,” Guy added. “As we worked together, I discovered that she had been the instru- mental in the formation of our Light Up a Life event. She has given so much to our community and our team and has left an endur- ing legacy.” Tevlin seems unaffected by the kind words from her supervisors and cowork- ers and believes that life itself has prepared her for the work she has done for more than a quarter cen- tury. “It’s not that difficult when you get this old, you just get used to it. You are used to life and death and everything else,” Tevlin said with a wry smile. “And you get more out of it then you give, and it makes life worthwhile because you are doing something good. What else would I be do- ing. Hanging around the house?” For more information on volunteering at PHPH, visit peacehealth.org. Buying or Selling? I can help.
