Wagner's response was, "Consider me fired."
Mike Bell, vice president of community relations with Hospice of the Florida Suncoast, reportedly told WPTF that it was Wagner's comments to the media, not her personal opinions that cost her job.
"We respect the diversity of strongly held opinions and beliefs, even among our staff and volunteers," Fazan reported.
"Where there would be a problem is a violation of confidentiality and failure to respect the privacy of any patient or family member, and that would be the reason why the agency asked Nora Wagner not to return to Woodside."
Fazan did not point out in her report, however, that Wagner's comments to the media were only made after she was ordered to remain silent by the placement agency, not prior to the Woodside Hospice request that she not be allowed to return to their facility.
