Cedars Connect
DuBose Health Center
New and from The North
By Dan Smith, DuBose Health Center Administrator

“Wow!” was the first word to come from my mouth when I entered The Cedars of Chapel Hill in March to interview for the DuBose Health Center Administrator position. Since that day, I have uttered that word countless times in reflection of the many beautiful parts that make up this community.
I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri and attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio where I studied social gerontology and business management. I have been a licensed Nursing Home Administrator since March 2007 and I have been a Life Care Services employee for over two years. I relocated to Chapel Hill from Cincinnati, Ohio where I was working as the Administrator for another Life Care Services community.
Outside of work, my biggest passion is my fiancée, Betsy, whom I am anxiously awaiting to marry this July. I also enjoy running, golf, and sand volleyball. It truly is a pleasure to be here at The Cedars.
