CARY, NC (June 24, 2020) – Aware Senior Care is pleased to announce that its director and co-founder, Gina Murray, has been elected to join the Association for Home and Hospice Care of North Carolina’s (AHHC) Board of Directors, beginning July 1. Gina is the co-founder and director of Aware Senior Care, an award-winning in-home care services company in Cary.

“AHHC is thrilled to welcome Gina Murray, RN, co-founder and director of Aware Senior Care, to the AHHC Board of Directors, representing the non-Medicare certified provider segment of AHHC’s membership,” said AHHC President and CEO, Tim Rogers. “Gina’s collective experience in hospice, skilled nursing facilities, as caregiver for her parents, and currently as the co-founder and director of a successful home care agency, will be an invaluable asset to the Board of Directors and to the Association. Not only is Gina a dedicated nurse and an advocate for her patients, employees, and her community, but she is also special to us for being the recipient of the inaugural Sherry Leigh Thomas Nurse of the Year Award in May of 2019. We have a bright future ahead with Gina on our team.”

AHHC is a nonprofit trade association representing providers of home health, hospice, palliative care, personal care, private duty nursing and companion/sitter services. The Association was established in 1972 and currently has a membership of over 750 provider agencies and business partners, who provide products and services to providers. AHHC's mission is to provide resources, education, advocacy and leadership. Services include technical assistance, monthly newsletters, quality educational programs, annual directory, email alerts, and political lobbying. AHHC strongly advocates for their members and the many patients they serve, and is recognized by colleagues, regulators, and legislators as one of the most active and effective home care & hospice associations in the US.

Murray was elected to the position of Non-Certified Provider and will serve a three-year term with the organization.

“The compassionate care that all of AHHC members bring to families throughout our community is so important,” said Murray. “I am honored to serve a greater role with this organization as we seek to better support families and their loved ones at the end of their lives.”

Gina Murray and her husband, Tim, started their family-run business out of necessity. Both Tim and Gina needed to find quality, compassionate home care services for their aging parents, including Tim’s mother who battles dementia. After struggling to find the right services and caregivers for their loved ones, they knew there must be a better way. They co-founded Aware Senior Care in 2014 with a commitment to provide the very best in-home care for families in our community. Both of them bring personal experience and compassionate care to every client relationship they have.

Aware Senior Care has been recognized over and over again for top-quality, professional in-home care. In 2019, Aware Senior Care won the Triangle Business Journal’s Family Business Award and the Cary Chamber of Commerce “Small Business of the Year” Award in addition to a dozen other top awards over the course of the year for its excellent care and service.
