It's Time to welcome Our New Director of Adult Bereavement Jim Rossi
|
Jim, physician-internist, retired from his clinical practice with an emphasis on Geriatrics four years ago. His medical practice included administrative responsibilities and a focus on Quality Management. After his first wife died in 1996, he attending a life-saving Hospice Caring (now CaringMatters) support group for widowed spouses, and pledged back then to give back to the organization. For the past twenty years, he has volunteered with the organization in several capacities--mainly as facilitator of multiple bereavement support groups. Jim has two adult children living on the West coast, and married Jean in 2005. He is fluent in Spanish. Having spent his entire adult life guiding those who are suffering, Jim feels that his calling is now to serve those who are grieving the death of a loved one, and to work closely with CaringMatters' staff and volunteers.
