Bio
Polly Stacy
I had the true honor of working with Ms. Kris Payne at Hinds Hospice in our roles as Hospice Care Consultants. There are often people that we meet and have the honor of working with that make a true difference in their field and Kris is one of those people. When Kris started at Hinds Hospice I felt an immediate connection to her because of her compassionate and sincere spirit. It takes a special person to educate and truly connect with people when they are on their hospice journey or referring a patient to hospice and Kris takes that role to heart with every family and provider she works with. I would recommend Kris without hesitation to anyone looking to learn more about hospice services. Thank you for working in healthcare Kris and thank you for making a difference.

Kris brought her passion for caring for seniors and their families to Sunrise Senior Living and has continued this dedication throughout her career helping referral sources and families make the best decisions caring for their clients and loved ones. She demonstrates genuine compassion and concern for helping others in all that she does. It isn’t a job but a life vocation of servant leadership for Kris.
