Cheryl Baker

December 9, 2020

Cheryl Baker

William James said it best, “Act as if what you do makes a difference, because it does.” And a difference she makes. In June 2007, Cheryl Baker joined our team as a Hospice Aide. Earning her LPN and then eventually RN license, Cheryl advanced to a field nurse, a position which she still holds today.

If you’re ever in the office, don’t mistake her for someone else. She has an identical twin sister who also is a part of our team. Coworkers describe her as “super sweet,” and emphasized the love her patients have for her.

Cheryl states the reason she chose hospice care was so she can “be there providing comfort and support to patients and families, so no one dies alone.”

“We are family,” she says when asked what her favorite part about working for Hospice of Southern Illinois is. She continues, “we all have been in the shoes of the people we are serving and can provide the support they need when going through some of the most difficult times in their lives.”

We are so honored that Cheryl Baker chose us to make her difference and support our mission, to enhance the quality of life for individuals and their loved ones touched by a terminal illness.
