Heart of the Matter: June 2024

As the Executive Director of Jewish Family Service of Nashville, I have had a front-row seat for the past 14 years to witness the incredible impact of our organization’s services on individuals and families. Since breaking my ankle two weeks ago I have become a recipient of the very services our agency provides.

You may not know this, but JFS fields over 500 calls a year for information and referral. Our dedicated licensed clinical social workers’ depth of knowledge of trustworthy community resources ensures that individuals in need of guidance are directed to the best available services. Are you navigating a new transition in life and looking for trusted resources? Give us a call! I obviously know that we provide this invaluable service, but now as a recipient of service, I have personally benefited from their expertise, reinforcing my confidence in the quality of care we offer.

Furthermore, the comprehensive wrap-around services we provide are delivered with genuine compassion and dignity. Experiencing the care I have received as well as my husband, as a caregiver, further solidifies my personal belief in not just the quality of care we provide, but perhaps more important is the way in which care is provided – with professionalism, compassion, and dignity.

My personal journey has reaffirmed my pride in the remarkable work of Jewish Family Service. Through my experience, I have gained an even deeper appreciation for the vital role our agency plays in supporting and uplifting the community during times of need as we help individuals and families “Navigate Life’s Transitions. Together.” For that I am grateful to not only lead this impactful agency, but also be a client.
