Veteran healthcare CEO who launched Cherokee County, Georgia chapter brings 40 years of leadership to SHP's board
Kohl's path to the board began at a community bed build event. After retiring in 2023, he volunteered at an SHP bed build and came away so inspired that he and his wife, Nancy, set out to bring the mission home. Their chapter held its first build in March 2026 and has since delivered more than 230 beds to local children, with the couple joining many of the deliveries themselves.
"Dan didn't come to us through a résumé—he came to us through a build," said Eddie Arnold, Chair of the Board of Directors, Sleep in Heavenly Peace. "He's watched a child see their bed for the first time, and he brings decades of experience leading and growing organizations. He understands both our chapters and our board, and we're grateful he said yes."
Most recently, Kohl served as President and CEO of CarePlus Anesthesia Management, more than doubling annual case volume before the company's 2023 sale. In 2010, he co-founded Halcyon Healthcare, growing Halcyon Hospice into the largest independent hospice provider in Georgia. He has also led Pediatric Services of America, a provider of nursing services for children, and Equifax's Health Information Services division, and has served on The Citadel Foundation Board. He holds degrees from The Citadel and Southern New Hampshire University.
"The first time I built beds with SHP, I knew I'd found something special," said Kohl. "Nancy and I have been on a lot of deliveries since, and it never gets old—a child running into their room and finding a bed made up just for them. I've spent my career helping organizations grow without losing sight of the people they serve. I'm honored to bring that to this board so every chapter has what it needs and no kid sleeps on the floor in their town."
Kohl's appointment adds seasoned governance experience and a chapter leader's perspective to the board as SHP continues to grow its network of volunteer-led chapters across the United States and Canada.
Kohl lives in Georgia, with Nancy. They have two grown children and eight grandsons.
