Prince Frederick, MD – Brenda Laughhunn will resign from Calvert Hospice at the end of September to pursue her career with a hospice in Missouri. Laughhunn has been the Executive Director of Calvert Hospice since January 2012.
As stated by Ms. Laughhunn: “Our organization has moved in the past 3 years from being in a very precarious place to being on a firm footing… and you need to know that this is based on several outside audits and assessments by agencies we are accountable to and that hold us to high standards. This reflects on a great team that is dedicated and has made many sacrifices. Proving the strong fiber of each member’s commitment to each other, our families, and this great organization. I am grateful to have been a part in making a positive difference in the life of Calvert Hospice.
I have always believed that I was brought to Calvert Hospice for a purpose….and a season. I didn’t know if it would be 2 years or 20. But my faith tells me that I would know, if I’m listening, when that time for transition and completing that mission has come. I have come to that point. It is with a mix of emotion that I share the news of my resignation as Executive Director.”
Calvert Hospice is strong and in a great place for the next chapter of its legacy. The Calvert Hospice Board of Directors will appoint an interim director until the position is filled. Calvert Hospice provides the BEST care possible at a time when most needed by serving those with life-limiting illnesses, providing excellent medical care, pain and symptom management, and emotional and spiritual support in Calvert County.
