Among the benefits Providence Mission Hospital Mission Viejo (Calif.) now offers its caregiving staff is concierge and errand-running services provided by Best Upon Request, a Cincinnati-based national services provider.

Assistance with shopping, shipping and gift wrapping will also be available amid the holiday season.

"This caregiver concierge program, and our partnership with Best Upon Request, is a reflection of our commitment to our promise statement to know, care for, and ease the way for our patients, their families, and our caregivers."
