Jacksonville, Florida-based Alivia Care Inc. has named Annie Tuttle as its new vice president of community impact and philanthropy.

The nonprofit is the parent organization of Community Hospice & Palliative Care.

Tuttle oversees Alivia Care’s strategic leadership for philanthropy, donor engagement and community partnerships that help to support Community Hospice & Palliative Care. She works with the board of trustees at The Foundation of Community Hospice & Palliative Care to strengthen and diversify funding support for a wide range of programs.

Tuttle previously served as executive director of both Community Hospice & Palliative Care and the foundation. She connected with the hospice and palliative care provider when a family member received care at the organization. The experience “reshaped” both her personal and professional outlook, Alivia Care said in a statement shared with Hospice News.

“Tuttle is advancing a philanthropy strategy that connects community generosity with high-impact programs, benefiting patients and families across the region,” the organization said in the statement. “[She] brings a strong background in education, entrepreneurship and community advocacy, along with deep experience in volunteer leadership and nonprofit support. Tuttle’s leadership reflects a clear business objective: to position philanthropy as a strategic driver of impact, innovation and access.”

Among Tuttle’s initiatives include the expansion of the Build, Create, Comfort Campaign for Community PēdsCare® program. The capital campaign is designed to help establish a new center dedicated to pediatric palliative and hospice care, the Dorion Family Pediatric Community Center.

In addition to the pediatric program, Tuttle is responsible for growing sustainable support of other programs at Community Hospice & Palliative Care, including its bereavement and veteran services, family caregiver support and services for underserved populations.

Established in 1979, Community Hospice & Palliative Care has more than 1,000 employees and 1,000 volunteers. The organization has a daily census of roughly 1,500 patients and operates 10 inpatient care centers.
