Kate, with over a decade of experience in healthcare marketing, non-profit management and philanthropy, joined the CCP team in September 2020. Prior to CCP, Kate served in leadership roles for the South Carolina Medical Association as the director of communications and the Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System Foundation as a director of philanthropy. Kate earned her Bachelor’s in Journalism and Mass Communications from the University of South Carolina and is an avid volunteer in her community, including Junior League of Columbia and Spartanburg, Make-A-Wish, March of Dimes, PRISMA-Midlands and more. Inspired by her own personal experiences of her twin children being born very prematurely and spending 76 days in the neonatal intensive care unit, Kate is a true champion of pediatric healthcare causes and served as an inaugural Gretchen Carlson Fellow for the National March of Dimes in 2018 and the South Carolina Ambassador Family in 2019.
