She joined the Agape team after the organization expanded its geographic footprint across nine states in less than five years.

As a highly collaborative leader, Cara is adept at building, training and motivating the company’s teams to take on tough obstacles and achieve their goals.
Before joining Agape Care Group, Cara served many years at Kindred Hospice in a mix of training and leadership roles. When the company formed into Gentiva, she moved into a more national-level leadership role and was ultimately appointed as senior vice president of business development.

After graduating from Indiana University with a bachelors in applied health science, she worked as an account executive, Trainer and Sales Manager at Apria Healthcare, a company she was with for seven years. She also served as the senior director of training and development at Harden Healthcare, which was later acquired by Gentiva.
Her experience and industry insight, along with her motivation and passion to mentor others, is what makes Cara the successful leader she is today and is crucial to achieving Agape Care’s vision to be recognized as one of the country’s premier care providers known for its superior patient-family experience, delivering the highest quality care, and building a culture of excellence. She is excited for any challenge that lies ahead.
