This year, we’re shining a light on the people who help guide our mission — our Board — and sharing their “why” for serving the Martha T. Berry Foundation.
We’re honored to begin with our Board Chair, Karen Bathanti.
"A verse from Luke has always resonated deeply with me:
“For everyone to whom much is given, much will be required; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, even more will be asked.”
I take those words to heart. I have been richly blessed—with love, friendship, health, opportunity, and the ability to serve others. And I believe those blessings come with responsibility.
My passion for this work isn’t just professional; it’s spiritual. I believe we are called to care for those who once cared for us. And I believe each of you feels that same calling—that’s why this facility thrives, why our board came alive, and why the men & women who call Martha T Berry home are living their best lives!"
Karen’s leadership, heart, and sense of purpose help shape the care, compassion, and community felt throughout Martha T. Berry every day. Thank you for being our trusted leader in all of our efforts.
✨ Follow along as we introduce the rest of our board members and share why they choose to serve — and why this work matters so deeply to them and to the elders who call Martha T. Berry home.
