Robyn Chavez

Vice President & Secretary

Co-founder and Director of Red Willow Hospice

I grew up in Taos, where my family has been for generations.
I recognize the importance of honoring culture, tradition, and history. My dad taught me about farming, agriculture, and water. I loved playing in the Acequia, which my daughters now do. 

I have been a Registered Nurse (BSN), for nearly ten years. I come from a family of nurses, whom I look up to. My nursing background includes long-term care, critical care, diagnostic imaging/interventional radiology, and hospice care. My passion for holistic end-of-life care, led me to my current role as Co-founder and Executive Director of Red Willow Hospice, a community-based and integrative hospice.

My interest in volunteering, strategic planning, creativity, and community collaborations brought me to becoming a Board Member for the following organization: Taos Pueblo Foundation, Taos Elders and Neighbors Together, Holy Cross Medical Center, Taos Whole Community Health, and Taos County Chamber of Commerce. 

I am excited to share ideas and be a resource for community growth and development, health, and wellness.
