🌟 Employee Spotlight: Jake Karr 🌟
We’re thrilled to shine a light on Jake, one of our Medical Assistants here at Heartstrings Mental Health! 💛
Jake’s journey is one of resilience, growth, and second chances; values that sit at the very heart of who we are at Heartstrings.
Having come from the same place that many patients have been, Jake brings a level of understanding that can’t be taught. His past lived experience with addiction allows him to meet patients with empathy, hope, and compassion, reminding them that we all deserve second chances.
Jake shared that when he first started his journey, his mindset was, “I have to do this.” Today, that mindset has shifted to, “I get to do this.” That shift is felt every day in the way he shows up for our patients, as a light on their healing journey and a steady source of encouragement.
To Jake, Heartstrings isn’t just a workplace, it’s a second chance at life. And through his role as a Medical Assistant, he is now able to be part of other people’s second chances, too.
We are incredibly proud of Jake and grateful for his heart, and the impact he makes every single day in the office❤️
