Justine Hoo, the business development coordinator for Hospice of Broward County, was recently appointed to the Advisory Council of the Aging and Disability Resource Center.
Hoo received a unanimous vote for the position. She brings to it a combination of personal and professional passion for and dedication to the aging community and hospice care.
Also, Hoo recently was installed for her second term as president of the Broward Coalition on Aging, the first person in the history of the organization to be asked back for a second term.
“Ever since I lost my mother to cancer, I’ve been a cheerleader for hospice care,” said Hoo. “These two leadership positions will add to my ability to help increase the understanding of hospice care in our community.”
