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.”
