New Chief Executive for Franklin Hospice

Sapeer Mayron Reporter from Franklin County News

Franklin Hospice has a new Chief Executive in Sue Marshall, who has been working in primary care for nearly a decade.

After eight years of senior management roles at Tamaki Health and Counties Medical, and a stint as CEO of the Kate Edger Educational Charitable Trust, Marshall is excited to grow the hospice further.

“There is a growing need for this vital service, in challenging economic times,” Marshall said.

“I am excited to take up this role and ensure that we are able to meet demand and provide more for our patients and their whanau.”

Outgoing CE Ric Odom served the Hospice for five and a half years, as demand for its services more than doubled.

For the diary: join Franklin Hospice’s fundraisers this June 18:

Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
