David Hanlin has joined Coastal Hospice as the new Vice-President, Operations, where he will be responsible for directing the administrative staff and handling all agency operations, with the exception of clinical services and finance.
“The team of committed professionals at Coastal Hospice has earned the trust and respect of those people facing great personal and familial crisis, be that terminal illness or chronic pain,” Hanlin said. “Personally, I am excited about the opportunity to use my experience to strengthen the organization without losing sight of the values that first attracted me to health care.”
Alane Capen, President of Coastal Hospice, welcomed Hanlin. “I am personally thrilled to have David joining our senior leadership team,” she said. “His experience and talent is exactly what our organization needs at this time of growth in hospice and with our multiple programs and projects.”

He served as Development Coordinator for the Washington County Free Library, founded and owned Hagerstown Transload Services, and served in executive capacities at G.A. Stewart Enterprises, Inc. in Hagerstown and Arnot-Ogden Memorial Hospital in Elmira, NY.
