Executive Director: Scott Swift, RN
“Family is very important to me.  I am the 5th generation of my family to live in the foothills of the Alleghenies on the farm that I still call home.  I left only to further my education.

I believe friends are irreplaceable and friendship immeasurable, and there are always more friends to be made.  Our worth is gauged by our friendships.

My hobbies are Harley motorcycles and Cadillacs, restoring and cruising.

In 1994, I went to Alfred State to become a registered nurse, continuing on to Utica/Rome SUNY to earn my Bachelor’s degree, and, following that, started my nursing career at Jones Memorial Hospital.

I worked on the medical and surgical floors of Jones Memorial, but knew I was destined for the Intensive Care Unit. After many years serving on all shifts, I became the coordinator of ICU, working there until November 2011, when I joined Hart Comfort House.

I love being able to help people through difficult times, making a difference for residents and their families as they deal with the end of life. All of us at the Hart Comfort House celebrate the lives of those we care for.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

We welcome JoAnne White as our new Volunteer Coordinator as of August 2017. 
“I have lived in the area most of my life, graduating from Scio Central School. My husband, Dennis, and I have two grown children. I retired from Alfred State College 2 and 1/2 years ago and have been a volunteer at the Hart House for almost 2 years. I am on the Music on The Lawn Committee and am also involved with the American Legion Auxiliary. I enjoy reading, puzzles and NY Mets baseball.”
