Lin Sue Flood, director of community engagement, Hospice of the Valley
BACKGROUND: In 2015, after a 34-year career as a TV newscaster, Lin Sue Flood joined the leadership team at one of the largest not-for-profit hospices in the nation. As director of community engagement, she helps raise awareness and connect families to Hospice of the Valley programs that support people with chronic or terminal illness and all stages and types of dementia. Last year, the agency served more than 21,000 patients and their families with comfort, dignity and compassionate care.
SOURCE OF PRIDE: “After 36 amazing years in television news, I was privileged to interview so many fascinating people and tell incredibly compelling stories — and now, I feel blessed to help families who would otherwise be alone during a vulnerable time of life, caring for someone they dearly love.”
SURPRISING FACT: “I’m a passionate thrift shopper and love hunting for treasure! What a thrill to snap up spectacular bargains from designers like Coach, Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Prada and more (and yes, I find a lot of fabulous things at our White Dove Thrift Shoppes!). There’s nothing like the look on a woman’s face after she compliments my outfit and I confess it cost a whopping $16.”
SOURCE OF INSPIRATION: “I can’t pick just one! I’m inspired by many women who have taught me the importance of living for others — professional mentors and personal ones, who model grace and humility and lead with servant hearts. They nurture relationships that matter — faith and family foremost, flowing to friends and professional colleagues. They share without hesitation, encourage and lift one another and always make time to help others no matter how busy they are.”
