Introducing Hank

Meet Hank, Hancock Health’s director of fun.

If you’ve visited Hancock Regional Hospital, there’s a chance you’ve already run into him. It’s hard to miss a big, orange frog. Hank can usually be found greeting patients, working out at Healthway Park (he loves the pools), or hanging out with his best friend, Hancock Health President and CEO Steve Long. Hank’s even got an office in the hospital to use whenever he needs quiet time to get his work done.

Hank’s got a lot of work to do, too. His responsibilities include spreading hoppiness everywhere he goes and making sure our doctors, nurses, associates, and patients know they’re appreciated. Still, Hank is toad-ally living his best life in his dream job, so he’ll jump for joy at any task he’s given.

Here’s a look at Hank’s busy daily schedule:
