This morning’s first guest was Mary Stack of Hospice Atlanta. With two master’s degrees in social work and education, Mary was almost destined to spend her career serving other people. For twenty three years she has worked in a number of different capacities at Atlanta’s oldest and largest hospice. Now a lead social worker for the in-patient unit, she attributes her longevity with Hospice Atlanta to the fact that she is that through her job, she is able to make an impact on peoples lives, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Mary can be reached at (404) 869-3083, or at Mary_Stack@vnhs.org. Visit Hospice Atlanta on the web at www.vnhs.org.
Up second today, we had Marti Vogt, Support Program Coordinator for Perimeter Church in Johns Creek. Although Marti wears many hats, the common thread in her varied responsibilities is a passion to care for and support those in need, whether they are autistic children, disabled adults or seniors who are depressed and may be contemplating suicide. Marti’s years of commitment to serving others has developed into a lifelong ministry to virtually anyone that shows up in her office or on her radar screen. Marti shares her passion for serving this morning with Eugeria! Radio. She can be reached at 678.405.2277.

Finally, Eugeria! spoke to Adrienne Noble, Information and Referral Specialist for Gwinnett County Senior Services. Originally from New York, Adrienne has become a vital force in her community by immersing herself in opportunities to serve the area’s seniors. From directing residents to County service locations, to assisting them in availing themselves of Gwinnett County’s senior services, to helping families think through the impact of an aging loved one that can no longer stay safe alone, Adrienne’s role is to provide answers! One of Adrienne’s pieces of advice to those facing the aging issues is, “Speak up, let your voice be heard, let your needs be known.” There are many avenues of assistance available if you simply ask! Adrienne can be reached at (678) 377-4150, or via email at adrienne.noble@gwinnettcounty.com.
