In addition to her NVNA and Hospice career, Renee has been a clinical case manager at Tufts New England Medical Center and a clinical liaison for New England Sinai Hospital. Since 2016 Renee has served on the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the South Shore Chamber of Commerce.

What is your favorite thing about your career? As CEO of an innovative non-profit home health and hospice agency, I am honored to lead an organization that provides much needed services for our patients, in particular, at the end-of-life. The increased use of technology supports patient satisfaction and quality for our patients. The mission remains the same, to care for our patients and the community with the best quality of care possible. As a nurse, the staff and patients inspire me every day with their compassionate stories of healing and support. The generous donors also inspire me, without them, the Pat Roche Hospice Home would not remain viable to provide the charitable care that is needed for so many. As our 2020 Chair, what is the one thing you are most looking forward to/hoping to achieve? As 2020 Chair, my goal is to consistently message to the south shore community the value of the Chamber. Not only for South Shore businesses, but for housing, work force development and our regional economy. I want the business community to understand how the important work they do supports all of us who live and work here. Another goal is to increase the engagement of the Board members to support the strategic initiatives. What was the last great book you read? Movie/TV show you watched? I recently read The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World by Melinda Gates. Her messages are about inclusion, connection, empathy, education, and most importantly not judging others’ cultures and values. She urges readers to help educate women to achieve what is important to them, resulting in their highest quality of life. She can be reached at [email protected]. Our Board of 36 represents diverse businesses and a changing mix of leaders on the South Shore. We welcome 10 new Board members this year (denoted by *).
