One of the traits of a successful organization is that when turnover occurs there are others already in place who can step up to assume new roles and challenges. The Crystal Coast Hospice House is such an organization and is fortunate to have Ms. Kay Coole who has agreed to serve as the Executive Director, effective July 19, 2023.  Kay enjoys the full respect and support of the board and possesses experience in administrative operations, special events management and quality monitoring and assurance. She has been with the Hospice House for 7 years and is deeply devoted to its mission. She is also energetic and hard working so along with our fully engaged board will keep the Hospice House moving forward on its positive trajectory.

My name is Rhonda Creech and I am the Hospice Inpatient Director of Crystal Coast Hospice House in Newport as well as Kitty Askins Hospice Cener in Goldsboro. I oversee all facets of the inpatient hospice centers. I graduated with an associate's degree in nursing in 2001 then obtained my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Mount Olive in 2015. I recently celebrated my 20-year anniversary with 3HC, and I absolutely LOVE hospice! I have been a Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse (CHPN) for 8+ years and have thoroughly enjoyed providing inpatient hospice care as well as in home care to many hospice patients over the years. My mission is to always ensure that our patients receive optimal, compassionate care and that the rapport established with our families allows them to have the peace of mind they deserve by knowing their loved one was our top priority.
