Meet the 2021 NHPCO Board of Directors

A Message from

Board Chair Norman McRae
First, let me say how honored I am to be serving as chair of the NHPCO board of directors. In
this role, I look forward to working as a strong advocate for each of you.
Many of you may know me as the CEO of Caris Healthcare, which I founded in 2003 along with
my wife, Linda, a Registered Nurse. Yet, I have been involved in the field of hospice for more than
30 years. I clearly remember the first time I saw a need for hospice care. My grandmother, the
matriarch of our family, died of cancer at home. At the time, hospice care had not reached the
mountains of North Carolina where I lived.
I believe in a personal approach to care that caters to the unique physical, spiritual, and emotional
needs of each patient and their family. I believe that this commitment to excellence and
compassion is well reflected in the work of NHPCO. In fact, I would venture to say that we all
share a common mission to deliver the highest quality care to patients and families facing serious
and life-limiting illness.
As a provider community, we face many challenges in today's health
care landscape, yet the opportunities are many. Having served on
the NHPCO board and the board of the Hospice Action Network
for several years now, I continue to be impressed by our collective
ability to meet complex issues head on, working collaboratively to
advance our shared mission.
Our work together would not be possible without your support,
so let me offer my sincere gratitude for your commitment to
NHPCO. I want to assure you that all of us on the NHPCO
board of directors and among the NHPCO staff are dedicated to
working on your behalf with the best interests of our nation's
hospice and palliative care provider community a priority.
Thank you for this opportunity to serve,
Norman McRae
Chair
