Sherry Barnes is the Social Worker Volunteer Coordinator for A Better Way Home Boise Idaho Hospice & Palliative Care organization. Sherry grew up in Boise, Idaho and now resides in Meridian, Idaho. She attended Northwest Nazarene University where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Work, with a minor in Business, in 2004.  

Sherry has worked in hospice since 2007 and feels she has found the career of her dreams.  She has a big heart for the many patients she has cared for over these years, and she looks forward to serving many more patients as they make their final journey in life.

Sherry's compassion is deeply rooted in her personal family experience with hospice.  Through these life experiences, Sherry has gained knowledge of topics relevant to Idaho hospice:  working with Medicare and Medicaid, funeral assistance, and finding community resources to assist the needs of her patients.  It is both from her personal and professional experience that Sherry has become such an asset to this field.

Sherry also takes pride in her role as the volunteer coordinator for A Better Way Home.  She enjoys working with volunteers and works hard to place the right volunteer with the right patient.  Sherry knows the value of volunteers in providing the best possible care to her patients, so she always goes out of her way to let her volunteers know how much they are appreciated.
