Brenda Knollenberg has been hired by Hospice and Palliative Care of Western Kentucky as its new chief executive officer.
Knollenberg said she is excited to continue the hospice mission to ensure everyone receives the care they need as they near the end of life.
Knollenberg took over the position in late-November, replacing former CEO Belinda Blair who resigned in July.
Knollenberg had been the development manager of Hospice since 2018.
âRight now, weâre just focused on continuing to serve our patients and families with the excellent care that they deserve and expect, and itâs been challenging with COVID, so just working through all of those challenges, thatâs the main focus right now,â she said. âOur mission is helping individuals through the final stages of life and sometimes people think hospice is about dying, but itâs really about living and helping individuals live life on their terms and as pain-free as possible (and) to help them do the things that they would like to do.â
