Meet the
Coastal Home Health and Hospice Board of Directors
Cecelia Swick
Cecelia Swick has experience is in Medical Group Management, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Pediatrics, and Family Medicine. She spent more than 35 years working in the medical community in Sacramento, CA before retiring most recently from Sutter Medical Foundation. She also has a background in bookkeeping and financial management.
After retirement, she found herself needing to keep busy doing what she has always enjoyed the most: working alongside those in the medical field dedicated to serving their community and serving patients with the most urgent needs.
She has found that, in her volunteer role on the Coastal Home Health & Hospice Board of Directors, she has been able to again experience the feeling of being a part of something important. She feels it has been an extraordinarily rewarding experience.
She has served on the Board for six years and hopes to continue to serve for many more, supporting the organization and the wonderful professionals who care for our community.
