Diane Fasching has been an advocate of hospice care since the 1970s, when she helped found South County Hospice, which later merged with HopeHealth. Fasching was a member of HopeHealth’s Board of Directors for decades and now serves on the organization’s President’s Council.

An expert on health care leadership and governance and the author of a book on cancer caregivers, Deborah J. Cornwall’s experience brings a unique perspective to her service on HopeHealth’s Board of Directors. “Everyone on the HopeHealth team is so committed to the organization, our patients, and to each other,” she said.

When Ed Jankowski's wife of 25 years, Joyce, was diagnosed with cancer and suffered a stroke, he retired from his career as a federal civil servant to care for her. Throughout Joyce's illness, Jankowski never left her side, even when she received hospice care at home with HopeHealth.

For HopeHealth Board member Mark Tracy, personal loss has inspired him to help others gain access to important end-of-life care and grief support.
