The Chatham-Kent Hospice Foundation Board of Directors is pleased to announce Brock McGregor as its new Executive Director, effective June 9, 2025. McGregor will succeed Jodi Maroney, who is retiring on June 27, 2025, following a thorough recruitment process led by Logic Executive Search and Workplace Solutions.
Since 2014, Brock has served as a Municipal Councillor for Chatham-Kent, holding leadership roles such as Chair of the Board of Health and Chair of the Budget Committee. Known for his calm and analytical approach, he is praised for strong communication and collaborative leadership focused on system improvements.
“Brock’s long-standing commitment to volunteerism and community engagement makes him an ideal leader to carry forward the Foundation’s mission of raising funds and awareness for Chatham-Kent Hospice,” said Marian Redford, Chair of the Foundation Board.
McGregor expressed enthusiasm about his new role: “I look forward to supporting the sustainability and growth of Chatham-Kent Hospice. Compassionate care profoundly impacts families, and I am eager to help advance this vital work in our community.”
The Chatham-Kent Hospice Foundation is responsible for fundraising efforts that sustain the Hospice, requiring $182,000 monthly to cover operating costs. The Hospice itself is a 10-bed residential facility providing end-of-life care and bereavement support. Since opening in April 2016, it has cared for over 1,578 families and supported more than 2,239 individuals through grief services. The facility depends on community donations for 58% of its annual budget.
