Next week when Ogeechee Area Hospice founder Nancy Bryant retires a second time as the hospice's executive director, she won't exactly be leaving it in the hands of a newcomer. Incoming executive director Linda Upchurch taught through last semester as an assistant professor in Georgia Southern University's School of Nursing, but has also been working with the hospice since late 2004. "Linda is so highly respected by our staff that it is going to be, and has been, a wonderful transition, and she really is going to take Ogeechee Area Hospice into a great future," Bryant said.
