A Calling Rooted in Dignity: Meet Amy Mosoriak
For Amy Mosoriak, home-based care is more than a profession. It is meaningful, deeply
Amy, Vice President of Home and Community-Based Services at Providence Life Services, has been a nurse for nearly 30 years. Her career began in nursing and later led her into home health, where she discovered the work that would become her calling: hospice.
“I found my passion, which was hospice,” Amy said.
Her path to hospice began with a patient she had cared for through home health. When that patient became seriously ill and was referred to hospice, Amy knew she wanted to remain part of his care. She reached out to the hospice agency and asked to be connected with their leadership.
“That’s my patient,” she remembered thinking.
What began unexpectedly became the direction of her career. Amy soon realized hospice offered something uniquely sacred. It allowed nurses and care teams to enter into some of life’s most tender moments, offering comfort, presence, and support when families need it most.
That understanding was shaped not only by her professional experience, but also by her personal life. Amy lost her mother when she was in her 20s. Looking back, she recognizes the good care her mother received, but she also sees how much more support hospice could have provided during those final months.
“I realized how much better it could have been if we would have had that support,” Amy said. A perspective that continues to guide her work today.
At the heart of Amy’s leadership is a belief in human dignity. For her, hospice and home-based care are about helping people remain where they feel most comfortable, honoring their wishes, and supporting quality of life at every stage.
“One of the core principles is human dignity,” Amy said. “That means honoring each person’s choices and supporting them wherever they call home, whether that is in their own house, one of our Providence communities, or another setting that brings comfort and peace.”
Amy also believes families need education, reassurance, and compassionate guidance as they navigate home health, hospice, and palliative care. She understands that many people hear the words “hospice” or “palliative care” and feel afraid or uncertain. Amy wants families to know that these care terms are about support, comfort, dignity, and quality of life.
“It’s about quality over quantity,” she said. “It doesn’t mean you’re shortening anything.”
For Amy, home-based care is also about making sure Providence reaches more families who could benefit from that level of care. She believes strongly in the quality of the Providence team and the dedication they bring to patients and families each day.
That commitment extends to the people who provide the care. Amy sees staff support as a central part of her role. She knows that nurses, aides, office team members, and every person involved in the care process have a meaningful impact on families.
“It’s about the patients and families, but it’s hugely about staff satisfaction and making sure they have what they need,” she said. “They can’t do their jobs and provide good care if they don’t have support.”
Amy describes her leadership style as open and accessible. Her team knows they can call her, stop by, or come to her with concerns. She wants them to feel supported in the same way they support Providence patients and families.
“We really are a team,” she said.
Outside of work, Amy enjoys time with her blended family, which includes five children and five grandchildren. She and her family are also animal lovers. Music has always been part of her life, influenced by a musical family and a lifelong appreciation for records, Motown, country, jazz, and many other genres.
Amy also loves to travel. She has visited Egypt and Ireland and plans to visit Scotland. Her daughter jokingly calls her “the most unlikely world traveler,” a description Amy takes with humor.
Through every part of her story, Amy brings a steady sense of purpose to her work at Providence. She understands that caring for patients in their homes is intimate, emotional, and sacred. She also understands that families often need someone to walk alongside them with clarity, compassion, and respect.
For Amy, that is what Providence Hospice and Providence at Home are called to do.
It is care rooted in dignity. It is support for the whole family. And it is a mission she is honored to carry forward.
