Adams has been named Vice President of Human Resources, while Colovin takes on the role of Vice President of Experience, Insights, and Innovation. In their new roles, they will work with the executive leadership team to direct and oversee all aspects of strategic growth and operational excellence within the agency.

Crystal Adams: Vice President of Human Resources
Adams, a 14-year company veteran, began her career at Interim HealthCare as a staffing recruiter before moving into the role of Benefits Specialist. In 2015, she assumed the position of Human Resources Director, where she played a pivotal role in the significant growth of the company’s staff, which now employs over 700 field and office staff members. Adams has also been a key player in Interim HealthCare being named a South Carolina Top Workplace seven times. This recognition is particularly meaningful, as it is solely based on employee feedback and highlights Adams’ commitment to fostering a workplace where employees are engaged, motivated, and fulfilled.
In her new role as Vice President of Human Resources, Adams will continue to lead the HR team while focusing on new strategies to enhance employee satisfaction, implement comprehensive training programs, and recruit top talent. Her leadership will be instrumental as the company expands its services into new territories in the SC Lowcountry and Atlanta, Georgia, a move that promises exciting opportunities and growth. “My 14-year journey with Interim HealthCare has been immensely rewarding. I am eager to continue discovering new ways to enrich the lives of our team members, which will undoubtedly lead to even better care for our patients and clients,” said Adams.

Additionally, she currently serves as the Chair of the SC Home Care and Hospice Association Board of Directors. Prior to her role at Interim, Colovin was the Director of Care Partnerships at the Care Coordination Institute. In her current position, she has been responsible for providing strategic direction and operational oversight for home health, hospice, and personal care services while leading operational expansion efforts throughout South Carolina. Her areas of expertise include operational and financial management, population health management, quality improvement, and team development.
“I am excited to leverage my background in strategy and operations along with my passion for innovation and digital solutions to drive experience and share insights on the impactful work of our team in the communities we serve,” said Colovin. “At Interim, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional care, and I look forward to collaborating with our leadership team to enhance the overall experience for patients, employees, payors, and referral sources.
