Please join us in congratulating Rachel Hodge on her promotion to Administrator of White Pine!
Rachel’s Career
Rachel’s Career at Jefferson Park goes back 14 years and we are excited to see what she accomplishes in the years ahead! She began as a service-learning volunteer and then transitioned into the activities department. While still working in the activities department, Rachel completed an internship with social services. After graduating from UT, she was hired as a full-time social service director. Recently Rachel was given the opportunity to take on a new position, Administrator of White Pine. Rachel is excited to take on new responsibilities and do her part to ensure that Jefferson Park continues to be a great place to live and work.
Rachel’s love and passion for Jefferson Park shines through in these quotations.
“My favorite thing about Jefferson Park is the strong sense of community and purpose shared by everyone here. The strong connections within our community and bonds between our residents and staff make Jefferson Park feel more like an extension of family than a job, and that’s what makes it so special.”
“The longevity of the staff is a true testament to how important the residents, families, and the relationships we build are to us. I feel like it’s always been more than a job. It’s a community.”
When asked about the future of Jefferson Park, Rachel said she would love to see the addition of more Greenhouse homes. She believes that these home-like environments create a sense of community and are great for residents in terms of rehabilitation and comfort.
