Executive Director – Hospice Leadership - Crown Hospice
Pay: $100,000-$115,000 Depending on Experience

Hospice leadership requires something rare.

Hospice work is deeply meaningful — and deeply demanding. The right leader understands both.

It requires the ability to lead with heart while leading with strength - supporting teams who carry heavy emotional loads, while still ensuring accountability, operational excellence, and exceptional patient care.

At Crown Hospice, we are seeking an Executive Director who understands that hospice leadership is both a privilege and a responsibility.

This role calls for a leader who can balance compassion with managerial courage -- who can support a team through burnout, celebrate their calling, and still step forward when tough conversations and difficult decisions are required.

If you believe leadership means serving your team while guiding them toward excellence, this role was built for you.
