Our Orientation and Mobility Specialist, Christie Elliott, recently worked with a hospital employee who had lost much of her vision. She was struggling to see patients’ vitals on monitors and hadn’t been able to perform some of her job duties for months.

Through a worksite evaluation with Vocational Rehabilitation, Christie helped her get a pair of eSight GO glasses and the results have been incredible!

When Christie visited her at work recently, she was wearing her new glasses and said they’ve been amazing. She’s now able to perform all of her duties with confidence and continue doing what she loves most, helping her patients feel safe and supported.

Assistive Technology is changing lives across Tennessee, one success story at a time.

Meet Emmitta, one of the many hearts behind The STAR Center.

For more than 20 years, Emmitta has spent her days providing individualized, person-centered support to people who deserve to live life their way. Each morning, her prayer is simple: “Let me make a difference in someone’s life today.”

From sitting quietly beside someone until a smile breaks through, to sharing laughter and hugs, to celebrating a man’s 22 years of employment at Goodwill, every moment matters to her. Whether it’s a trip to the park, a stop for junk food, or just being present, Emmitta shows what compassion in action looks like.

In her own words: “I cannot think of anything I'd rather do. I am so blessed to have these people in my life. We need each other.”

Thank you, Emmitta, for the love and joy you bring to those you serve every single day.
