PENSACOLA — Covenant Care's new senior vice president and chief growth officer is Ron Fried, formerly of VITAS Healthcare in Miami, where he served as executive vice president of development and public affairs.
Fried — with more than 20 years' experience in policy development and hospice services delivery — was a technical expert on a hospice payment reform panel and on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ advisory panel in quality. He also chaired the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization's board of directors.
Fried will support the mission of Covenant Care — a group of services including Covenant Hospice, Covenant Alzheimer’s Services, Covenant Palliative Care and Covenant Kids — by focusing on growth initiatives that will allow the not-for-profit organization serve an increased number of patients.
Covenant Care — which daily serves more than 800 patients throughout Northwest Florida and South Alabama — provides comprehensive, compassionate services to patients and loved ones facing a terminal illness.
