Bluegrass Care Navigators Welcomes New President

July 9, 2026

After 12 years of leading Bluegrass Care Navigators (BCN) as President & CEO, Liz Fowler has determined it is time to move towards retirement. Liz shared her news with the Board of Directors last year, and together, they have conducted a nation-wide search for BCN’s next President. 

BCN ‘s Board of Director is pleased to welcome Jamie Moen as the organization’s next president, effective June 15. As we begin this new chapter, we remain committed to providing compassionate, high-quality care to patients and families across Kentucky. 


“We are honored to welcome Jamie Moen as the next president of Bluegrass Care Navigators,” shares Liz Fowler. “Jamie’s track record of operational excellence, strategic growth, and mission‑centered leadership makes her uniquely qualified to guide our organization into its next chapter.” 


Jamie is a nationally respected leader in post-acute and serious illness care, with more than 20 years of experience across hospice, palliative care, home health and complex healthcare operations. Most recently, she served as Chief Operating Officer at Agrace, a nonprofit healthcare organization headquartered in Madison, Wis., where she led a team of more than 700 employees, serving nearly 2,000 patients each day. 


“I am deeply honored to lead Bluegrass Care Navigators, an organization with such a powerful legacy of compassion and innovation,” Jamie said. “I look forward to partnering with the exceptional teams, volunteers, donors and community partners who make this mission possible. Together, we will continue expanding access to high‑quality care for patients and families across Kentucky.” 


Over the coming months, Jamie will work closely with retiring President Liz Fowler to ensure a thoughtful and seamless transition.


“Transitions can bring change, but they also bring opportunity,” Liz said. “As I reflect on my 12 years with BCN and the nearly 50-year legacy that began with Gretchen Brown, I am confident in the strong foundation we’ve built and in Jamie’s leadership to carry our mission forward.” 


Together, they will spend time across our service areas, meeting with team members, donors, and community partners and listening to the needs of the communities we are honored to serve. 


"Our donors are an essential part of our care team,” Jamie said. “Because of their generosity, we’re able to not only sustain our expert clinical care, but we can offer additional services to bring comfort and dignity to our patients and their families. Together, we can meet people with the care they need, exactly when they need it.”



We look forward to introducing Jamie to you in the weeks ahead and are confident you will find her deeply committed to the people and mission of Bluegrass Care Navigators.

I recently had the opportunity to work with a patient who was struggling with depression and grief as his illness progressed. As he lost abilities and became more homebound, the hospice team knew he could benefit from additional emotional support. However, he had repeatedly declined visits from the chaplain and social worker.

Over the years, I've seen how massage therapy can help ease physical discomfort, anxiety, and stress for hospice patients. But one of its most meaningful benefits is something less visible: helping patients feel less alone.

After a loss, many people ask the universal question: “How long will my grief last?” This is especially true for a first loss. Some people ask for ways to hurry through the grieving process, but there is no shortcut. It is difficult to accept that one has little control, but with grief work, the sense of loss can slowly improve.
