Hospice CEO Retiring

Ron Watson, The Community Hospice’s President and CEO, has announced he’ll retire later this spring. Ron’s led Community Hospice for five years, during which time the organization’s grown to where we’re caring for more than 600 hospice patients a day in the greater Capital Region.

Also during his tenure, Community Hospice started providing palliative care consultations to patients at two area hospitals and launched Camp Erin for grieving kids, which was featured on NBC’s Today Show and Nightly News with Brian Williams. A passionate champion of Hospice care, Ron has dedicated much of his career to improving hospice services, long term care, senior living communities and health care in general. His retirement means Ron will get to spend more time with his wife Cathy (his high school sweetheart!) and his five grandkids. Good luck Ron!
