Support Jody Norton!

Jody norton is an amazing gift to hospice and to the Davis community. How can someone be so cruel? This is disgusting.

If this is the new standard for taking care of our employees, I do not want to work there anymore. I am sick by this and actively looking for a new job. Jody has never ever treated anyone with such disrespect and dis regard for Yolo Hospice. Note the day the Yolo Hospice of past is now forever changed.

I support Jody Norton!

WTH! Jody Norton is an amazing nurse and a gift from Yolo Hospice. When my dad was dying she made sure we were treated with the most amazing care! Thank you Jody....How can this happen to such an amazing person?

i am shocked and utterly speechless! We love Jody and all she had done forcour family and community! This is a disgrace! We love you Jody!

I have known Jody for over twenty years. This is shocking, hard to believe, news. She is the kindest person I have ever met.

Jody grew up in Davis and went to school with all of our kids. I had not seen her for many years until she walked in to care for my dad. My dad had colon cancer and a great deal of pain. He was a very private, suspicious man. Jody came in and by the end of her first visit won his trust. He would not take anything unless approved by Jody. He had been in bed for many weeks but once he felt better he was able to get out to his back yard. She was gentle but honest always advising us on what toe expect. She told us when it was time to get family here and stayed with us while we huddled around our dad comforting us as we comforted my dad. His death was so peaceful and we were all there. It was such a special time for our family I will never forget. Jody is our angel and she is Davis' angel . I have friends who have called her who went to school with her and she has come to the rescue many times whether on hospice or not. I heard about her firing while i was shopping. Do you know who you fired? Do you know what you have lost? Gives me a entirely different view of who Yolo Hospice is. Disheartened and angry

Jody is uniquely suited to and qualified for the difficult work she does. I have never known a more empathetic and caring person. She has an ability to give comfort to people in very stressful situations. I cannot imagine her reacting in the way described by the new Manager. Hopefully his decision can be reviewed and overturned by someone who has a better feel for people.

I am STUNNED. I simply have to believe that a HUGE mistake has been made.

Davis Angel indeed! Love.

Jody is a fantastic woman

Hugs

I love Jody. Anyone would be lucky to have her!

Jody Norton and I go back about 10 years and during that time I've seen a person of compation for anybody that comes up to her weather they are a friend or stranger. She's always had this wit about her that made an uncomfortable situation be an easy going fun like feeling. Never have I seen her be anything different, seems hard to believe but I haven't. Jody has made Yolo Hospice a very caring compassionate place to work and help the community with a tough situation we may have to go through in life. I don't understand why someone of Yolo Hospice could "Fire" her... Let's stop messing with people's lives and put Jody back where she belongs (Yolo Hospice) !!

I wish your family the best, stay positive and determined.

Jody is an amazing lady and one awesome nurse!

love you Jody, you are an amazing women!

I am shocked that such a drastic action was taken. I support a review of the process that ended in Jody’s termination. Her love and commitment to YH deserves such a review.

I also call for a review of the process at tomorrow's meeting. Rules of confidentiality regarding personnel actions will prevent the board from providing specifics about any legitimate reasons for such a termination. I don't expect to be enlightened in that regard. I cannot imagine on what grounds Craig would terminate Jody without Board involvement before the fact; I want to know if the Board got to review his "charges" before giving their support to his action. The only exception would be if there is evidence that she may have committed a crime. A policy or protocol violaiton should be subject to a conduct review and opportunity to correct behaviour. I will hold an open place in my heart to hear reasons for Craig's community rending action. As it stands right now, I feel betrayed by him and his praises about our volunteer community because this is a punch in the gut to this community. I will listen with a pained heart and open mind.

I just have to give my opinion on this matter involving my wife.
