Happy July! We are thrilled to announce new beginnings as Jen Fisher joins KinVillage as its new CEO effective July 8, 2024.

Jen is a strong supporter of seniors' care and the development of a culture to support a safe, healthy, and active community.
Jen is currently the General Manager at Evergreen Hamlets in Surrey. Evergreen Hamlets specializes in long-term care for adults with Huntington’s disease, acquired brain injury, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy. Jen also served as an Assistant General Manager at Retirement Concepts, which offers a range of independent living, assisted living, and long-term care options. She also held a corporate position with Retirement Concepts, where she oversaw all aspects of therapies and contracts. Jen has led a team of 300 employees and volunteers and has played leadership roles in successful capital projects at both Evergreen Hamlets and Retirement Concepts.
