As an influential leader in the local health system and in the wider end of life care sector, Mark’s distinctive voice has contributed to national debates relating to the funding of hospice care and extending access to advance care planning.
On his resignation, Mr Jarman-Howe said:
“It has been a privilege to be Chief Executive of St Helena Hospice for the past 12 years. It is a role I have thoroughly enjoyed and found immensely purposeful and rewarding, even during some challenging periods.
“I am proud of how we have extended our reach and become known throughout our sector for innovative approaches to integration of care, governance arrangements and income generation.
“I have been very fortunate to work with committed and constructive trustees, and will always be grateful to them for their advice and support.
“Having worked with our talented and capable team to deliver strong results last year and put in place a plan to secure our future, I feel now is an opportune time to move on to a new personal challenge and allow others to shape the next iteration of our strategy.
Mark Jarman-Howe
