One of the traits of a successful organization is that when turnover occurs there are others already in place who can step up to assume new roles and challenges. The Crystal Coast Hospice House is such an organization and is fortunate to have Ms. Kay Coole who has agreed to serve as the Executive Director, effective July 19, 2023.  Kay enjoys the full respect and support of the board and possesses experience in administrative operations, special events management and quality monitoring and assurance. She has been with the Hospice House for 7 years and is deeply devoted to its mission. She is also energetic and hard working so along with our fully engaged board will keep the Hospice House moving forward on its positive trajectory.
