Gretchen Brown, President/CEO of Stonehill Communities has announced her retirement effective August 10, 2023. The Stonehill Board of Directors has begun a search for candidates for the leadership role.

Brown’s retirement will come after 8 years of service. During her tenure, Stonehill has seen continual strategic growth including a number of capital projects including the renovation of the Health Center resident care areas and chapel, expansion of Assisi Village to include assisted living memory care, and the new Administrative/Outreach building which houses the Caregiver Resource Center.
