Sue Ann Hock

Sue Ann Hock has lived in Fairfield all of her adult life. In 1974, Sue Ann began employment at the Jefferson County Hospital as a Physical Therapy Technician.

After 30 years in that position, she had an opportunity to be Activities Director here at Sunnybrook when it opened in 2003. Sue Ann loves her job and it shows. Sue Ann's 30 years experience in providing physical therapy to seniors has given her incredible insight into the dynamics facing the aging population from both a physical and emotional perspective.

In her spare time Sue Ann loves to spend time with her family and friends, go to garage sales and, of course, stay up late at night to bake and peruse cookbooks for new and fun recipes.
