Following the recent announcement of plans to acquire TRU Hospice of Northern Colorado, Banner Health has hired a new director of hospice operations for the area.
Evan Hyatt, former executive director of operations in Northern Colorado for Kaiser Permanente, now oversees all operations for Banner Hospice of Northern Colorado from the current Greeley location. TRU HNC, which has been providing in-home care to those with life-limiting illnesses, is now officially part of the Banner Health family along with all 20 of its employees.
“Banner Hospice of Northern Colorado will enhance the continuum of care provided by Banner Health, and I feel very excited to be a part of such a high-quality organization,” Hyatt said.
A well-known name in Northern Colorado, Hyatt has extensive professional experience in executive management, leadership, marketing and operations, specifically in the hospice setting as well as in an integrated health system. He has held positions with Kaiser Permanente and Pathways Hospice of Northern Colorado.
A Colorado native, Hyatt has been active in the local community for the last 30 years and volunteers on several boards of directors including North Colorado Medical Center Foundation, United Way of Weld County, Loveland Business Partnership and the Better Business Bureau serving Northern Colorado and Wyoming.
