David LaMotte recently retired as a GOCCNJ board member after serving from the early years of the organization until June 2021. He devoted himself to improving end-of-life care for individuals and their family through hospice, at the community level through his service at Penn Medicine Princeton Health, and systemically with GOCCNJ. As a teacher and a caregiver, the common thread in his work is a belief in the power of listening.
To honor David and his outstanding support of patients in NJ with serious illness, GOCCNJ created the David LaMotte Award for Excellence in Patient Support. David’s hard work and commitment to transforming care for patients in NJ will be forever recognized as he was the inaugural recipient of this award.
