Stephen
Kutner has served as volunteer Medical
Director for JHI for seven years.
In that time, he trained thousands
of healthcare providers. “Due
to Dr. Kutner, the “Blind
Club” of Romania is now the
“Formerly Blind Club!”
He must be a doctor and a politician
to be effective in the world. In
only 7 years, Jewish Healthcare
International has been able to train
thousands of healthcare providers,
therefore providing better care
for all of the patients. Between
international training missions,
Steve Kutner has also worked tirelessly
to secure pharmaceuticals, durable
medical goods and equipment valued
over half a million dollars that
have gone to the program’s
service sites.
“The only ones
among us who will be really happy
are those how have sought and found
how to serve.”

Ms.
Campbell was nominated by this organization
because of her passionate commitment to
helping the homeless. She follows what she
learned from her grandmother who raised
12 children: “There’s always
room for one more!” She not
only coordinates the work of dozens of volunteers
who staff the kitchen and mailroom, she
also volunteers in the kitchen several hours
a week where she is known for her pies,
and spends countless hours searching for
and picking up donated food and clothing.
Some people may call Sylvia a scavenger,
but the homeless she serves call her an
angel. The Crossroads executive director
says, “Sylvia truly embodies ‘service
before self.’”
“The ultimate expression
of generosity is not in giving of what you
have but in giving of who you are.”
