He's Our Hero!


Our very own RN, Owen O'Neill, received the prestigious Healthcare Provider Non-Physician award from the Palm Beach County Medical Society. Owen was recognized for his work in creating the Clinics Can Help Foundation. The foundation, which he single-handedly manages in his free time, supports medical clinics, programs and patients by offering medical supplies at no cost. Owen, who has a fantastic working relationship within our organization, announced his thankfulness for the support he receives from Hospice of Palm Beach County, including many donated supplies from Hospice of Palm Beach County and The Medical Store.

Thanks to Owen's dynamic leadership, the foundation has grown to reach dozens of clinics (in the U.S. and abroad) and helped countless numbers of individuals in need.

Great job, Owen!
