Meet Our Leadership Team
Chip Beard | Director of Marketing
Chip’s passion is connecting with seniors and showing them love, and he goes to great lengths to help them with the care they need in their last years of life. You could say that Senior Care was a family affair as Chip grew up. His dad was a nursing home Administrator and his mom was a nurse in the same facilities. Senior Care continues to be in the family blood as two of his sisters work in hospice as well. Chip is an experienced administrator and passionate about caring for your loved ones.
David Garcia | Administrator
David Garcia has been a Registered Nurse for eleven years. He endured a personal experience with hospice as his father-in-law battled cancer that led him into a career in serving others through hospice services. He is passionate about the rewarding experience of partnering with patients and families during their final stages of life. In addition, David believes in developing and maintaining a strong, loving culture within our organization, which is displayed in the delivery of our patient care and interactions in the community. David loves spending time with his family of five. He has been married for 16 years with three children, who all play travel sports. David makes it a priority to spend quality time with his family hiking, coaching, riding horses (team roping), and traveling.
Lori Jennett | Director of Nursing
Lori Jennett had the blessing of coming into the hospice world thirteen years ago, working initially in an inpatient setting and then having the opportunity to come alongside patients and their loved ones in their home environments for ten years as an RN Case Manager. The experience of loving and caring for these beautiful families, providing support and comfort measures, and working with an amazing team prepared the way for her role as the Director of Nursing at Ascension Hospice. As Director of Nursing, Lori’s heart and goal is to create an environment of support, kindness, and love to an exceptional group of individuals who are providing the kind of care that goes beyond expectations. She absolutely loves her job and the people she gets to see and care for every day. Lori is incredibly grateful for her wonderful family including her husband and two college-aged children.
