Biographical Sketch: Chris Comeaux (KO-mo) is an award-winning expert on leadership in the nation’s end-of-life care movement. He is President/CEO of Four Seasons in western North Carolina, a 2009 American Hospital Association Circle of Life winner. Under his leadership, Four Seasons experienced phenomenal growth beginning in 2002: in four years, its census increased from 30 patients per day to over 400 per day. In 2005 the Carolinas Center for Hospice and End of Life Care honored him with the Peter Keese Leadership Award.
In 2006 Chris left Four Seasons for two years to build an alliance between the prestigious national healthcare consulting firm, the Studer Group, and Covenant Hospice in Pensacola. The vision was to transform, develop, and grow leaders throughout the hospice and palliative care world. Chris grew this venture from its infancy to an established coaching firm partnering with numerous organizations from New York to California. He returned to Four Seasons in 2008 to apply what Chris considers “the best leadership training in the world” to an organization he knows and loves.
Chris’s hospice career began in 1997 at Covenant Hospice in Pensacola, Florida. He was Chief Financial Officer, a senior leader during its growth phase of serving 180 patients per day to more than 600 per day. Earlier in his career, he worked with KPMG Peat Marwick, a “Big Four” CPA consulting firm, and with Cooper Industries in its Executive Development Program.
