Meet our Leadership Team

Michael Hawkins

Founder and Owner

Michael Hawkins is a Utah native, University of Utah graduate, and a retired U.S. Air Force intelligence officer with over 20 years of distinguished service. His career has spanned military leadership, higher education as a university instructor, and success in the private sector, including over $600,000 in real estate sales. Each chapter of his journey has deepened his commitment to leadership, service, and community.

Michael founded Interim HealthCare of Utah after recognizing a critical leadership gap in the home care industry. Driven by a deep respect for those who serve, he built his agency with a dual focus: providing exceptional care for clients and creating a mission-driven culture where caregivers feel supported, valued, and empowered to make a difference.

His passion for home care is profoundly personal. After surviving brain cancer and facing the challenges of physical disability, Michael experienced firsthand the vital role caregivers play in preserving dignity and independence. This experience fuels his dedication to helping others remain safely in their homes as they age.

Michael's perspective is also shaped by his time in real estate, where he witnessed the pride and joy of homeownership. Today, he leads a team that helps seniors and veterans avoid the heartbreaking need to leave their homes simply because they require care.

Outside of work, Michael is a devoted husband, father of ten, and grandfather to twelve. He finds joy in spending time with his family, camping in the Utah wilderness, and reading.
