Harbour Hospice welcomes new chief executive

Amanda Fowler has been announced as the new chief executive for Harbour Hospice, taking over the reins from Jan Nichols who is retiring in late November after 13 years at the helm.

Amanda has a long history with hospice, holding numerous roles first at Mercy Hospice, before becoming HR Manager at Hibiscus Hospice and later People & Culture Manager at Harbour Hospice.

Amanda, who will officially join the team in mid-November, says she is “honoured” to lead an organisation that is at the heart of the community. “My focus will be on continuing to uphold the excellence in care that Harbour Hospice is known for, while ensuring that we meet the challenges of an evolving sector together. I look forward to collaborating with the incredible team, volunteers and the wider community to advance our mission of providing the highest quality palliative care to those who need us most,” she said.
