Cecelia Swick

Cecelia Swick has experience is in Medical Group Management, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Pediatrics, and Family Medicine. She spent more than 35 years working in the medical community in Sacramento, CA before retiring most recently from Sutter Medical Foundation. She also has a background in bookkeeping and financial management.

After retirement, she found herself needing to keep busy doing what she has always enjoyed the most: working alongside those in the medical field dedicated to serving their community and serving patients with the most urgent needs.

She has found that, in her volunteer role on the Coastal Home Health & Hospice Board of Directors, she has been able to again experience the feeling of being a part of something important. She feels it has been an extraordinarily rewarding experience.

She has served on the Board for six years and hopes to continue to serve for many more, supporting the organization and the wonderful professionals who care for our community.

Rosa Cimino

Rosa began her career in telecommunications at Pacific Bell, working for 30 years in various departments from clerical to Engineering Manager until 1991.  Rosa loved learning and being challenged, so she enrolled in Shasta College and earned a degree in Medical Administration. 

Putting her degree to use, she started with a private practitioner where her love of caring for patients developed.  Rosa relocated to Brookings for the climate. Her degree served her well, and she continued her career at an assisted living community as the Business Office Manager. This was where she had her first exposure to home health and hospice.

After retiring in 2022,  she joined the board of Coastal Home Health and Hospice. 

Kristin Gurholt

Kristin is an optometrist with over 30 years of experience in the medical field. She moved to Oregon from Boulder, CO in 2019 and practices at the Eye Center of Brookings. 
She grew up in Bismarck, ND and attended undergraduate studies there before moving to Forest Grove, OR for optometry school.  She graduated in 1997 and worked in private practice in a suburb of Portland for a year then moved to the sun and mountains of Colorado.  She bought and managed Boulder Vision Center until 2016 when she had the opportunity to do compensation and pension exams for Veterans Affairs.  It was around that time she experienced significant life events and the importance of being supported by friends and family.  Our talents, time, or merely our presence can be a blessing to others.  She hopes to continue to discover the meaningful connections we make and the impact it has on our community.
