Rotherham Hospice CEO Sally Napper Retires
Rotherham Hospice bids a fond farewell to our Sally
On Wednesday 24th May, we said goodbye to our Sally Napper, who is retiring after being CEO of Rotherham Hospice for the last 5 years.
Sally Napper has worked in the health service for 42 years – since leaving school – and her ethos has always been to put the patient at the centre of our care. Sally steered us through Covid-19, when the world and our healthcare system faced unimaginable difficulties, and she has always ensured we provide essential care to the people of Rotherham.
“As my time as Chief Executive of Rotherham Hospice comes to an end, I would like to thank all staff, volunteers and member of the Board of Trustees for their support and hard work over the last 5 years.
I have really appreciated the contribution that everyone associated with the Hospice makes towards ensuring that we provide high quality care for all of our patients and families and I’m sure this will continue going forward.”
The Hospice held a leaving party for Sally at lunchtime on Wednesday 24th May, with staff and volunteers from all departments coming to say farewell.
Bill Patterson, Chair of Trustees, said: “When I think of the words I would use to describe Sally Napper, resilience is one.”
“The stress the sector has experienced during Covid is unbelievable and it’s a testament to Sally’s resilience that she has lead this organisation through that period of time.”
“I think when Sally looks back at her legacy here, she will see she has left us in a far better position than when she arrived. I’m very sad she’s leaving but we wish her and her family all the best for the future. I would like to thank her on behalf of everybody at the Hospice for all her efforts over her time here. “
Thank you to Sally from all the staff & volunteers at Rotherham Hospice, and from all the people whose lives you have touched through your work here!
