David J. Jones Appointed CEO of Sacred Heart

KANSAS CITY, Missouri—Sacred Heart announced the appointment of David J. Jones as its new CEO. Sacred Heart is the parent organization of Faith Home Health & Hospice and Freudenthal Home Health & Hospice.

Jones brings more than 22 years of experience in home health, hospice and therapy services to the role. A licensed physical therapist, he began his career as a clinician and went on to found and scale a home health therapy company to 13 locations before it was acquired by a national provider, where he later helped expand the division to 31 sites.

Most recently, Jones served as chief operating officer and board member of a regional home health organization, where he oversaw multistate operations, growth strategy and clinical excellence.

“David’s leadership philosophy, centered on people, process and purpose, makes him the right leader to guide Sacred Heart into its next chapter,” said Gene Creach, senior manager of Creach Family Holdings. “His track record of building strong, accountable teams and his deep respect for clinical integrity align perfectly with our mission.”

Originally from Kansas City, Jones said he is excited to return home with his wife of 27 years, Katie, and their three daughters. Under Jones’s leadership, Sacred Heart said it will continue its commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care while exploring new opportunities to serve families across the region with excellence and innovation.
