Shari Doherty Joins Hope Air’s National Advisory Council
(April 8, 2025)Hope Air is proud to welcome Shari Doherty, of Kingston, Ontario to its National Advisory Council. A seasoned professional with decades of experience in customer service, insurance, and real estate, Shari is committed to making a difference in her community and beyond.
Shari brings over 30 years of experience in customer service, insurance, and real estate, demonstrating a lifelong commitment to client satisfaction and community support. An accomplished entrepreneur, Shari transitioned into real estate seamlessly, earning the prestigious Rookie of the Year title in her inaugural year. For eight consecutive years, she has been recognized for excellence in sales and marketing leadership.
Having successfully raised her family and experienced multiple relocations, Shari deeply understands the significance of a home as the foundation for family life and future stability. Her passion for service extends beyond real estate, as she is dedicated to making a meaningful impact in her community.
She’s also no stranger to Hope Air, with personal connections to Kingston-based volunteer pilots. For more on those pilots, their experience, and Shari’s shared belief in our mission, please listen to Episode 58 of her Encore podcast, a showcase of people in their ‘second acts’.
“I know firsthand the importance of feeling supported when navigating life’s challenges,” said Shari. “Hope Air’s mission to provide free travel and accommodations for those in need resonates deeply with me. I am honored to join the National Advisory Council and contribute to making healthcare more accessible for all Canadians.”
“We are delighted to welcome Shari Doherty to Hope Air’s National Advisory Council,” said Mark Rubinstein, Chief Hope Officer at Hope Air. “Shari’s extensive experience in customer service, leadership, and community engagement will be a tremendous asset as we continue to expand our reach and support for patients across Canada.”
About Hope Air
Hope Air is Canada’s national charity providing free travel support through flights, accommodations, meals and ground transportation for Canadians in financial need who must access medical care far from home. Since its inception in 1986, Hope Air has provided more than 200,000 travel arrangements for patients regardless of age or medical need. For people living on a low income in small and rural communities, distance and cost are very real barriers to them accessing vital medical care. Hope Air is a unique and essential part of our Canadian healthcare system. Without the free access to health care that Hope Air provides, our national system of universal healthcare coverage would fall short of its promise. For more information, visit hopeair.ca
