WHO WE ARE
Welcome Home of Chattanooga began with six friends of diverse backgrounds gathering together in prayer and mindfulness, recognizing a need to serve those who are terminally ill. With encouragement from the community, we were able to turn "we wish" into "we can!"
Founding members include Sherry Campbell, Rachel Smith, Cassondra Smith, Christie Smith, Lauren Jones and our very beloved Duane Wade.
Our current Board of Directors are Katie Warren (Board Chair), Demarland Dean (Past Chair), Andrea Kozak (Chair Elect and Secretary), Tina Seagroves (Treasurer), Amy Boulware, John Kerns, Debbie Stone, Terry Melvin, M.D., April Wilson, LMSW, Betsy Kammerdiener and Isiah Robinson. Sherry Campbell, LMSW, serves as Founding Director. Founding Board Members Dr. Steve Coulter and Corinne Henderson serve as beloved Board Emeritus.
We are also very grateful for our friends, who provide wisdom and support. We acknowledge that the only way our city's first hospice home will be successful is for it to be for the community and by the community, including partnerships with friends, agencies, neighbors and our faith community. All are welcome and invited to the table.
Our very first fundraisers, Trey White and Friends.
