Featured Staff Member

Marianne Yanik, RN. resides in Dallas, Pa. with her husband and eight of her nine children. As mother of nine children, Marianne entered the nursing profession with a wealth of experience. Marianne brings wonderful gifts to not only the patients and patient's families of Hospice of the Sacred Heart, but also to the Hospice of the Sacred Heart team. Some of her most easily recognizble qualities are her gentleness, her humor and her dedication to providing uncompromising hospice care. Marianne possesses a warmth which radiates from her soul-filled big blue eyes. Her soft voice and easy manner is immediately comforting when Marianne first meets a patient and the patient's family. Hospice of the Sacred Heart is grateful to have such a caring professional on their team.
