Mifflin Court staff member receives community service award
Mifflin Court in Cumru Township, Berks County, a Senior Living and Secured Memory Support Community affiliated with Genesis HealthCare, announced that Melissa Eberhart, the community’s director of marketing and admissions, received the 2022 Circle of Life Coalition Community Service Award.
Each year the Circle of Life Coalition (CoLC) chooses one member of the community who has promoted the Coalition’s mission to educate the community and professionals on all aspects of end of life. Eberhart was voted as this year’s CoLC honoree.
Eberhart previously served on the Coalition’s board president, hospitality committee chair, and community relations committee chair and remains an active part of the Advisory Board, co- coordinating volunteer recruitment activities and fundraisers.
“In addition to her leadership, organizational skills and ideas, Melissa brings true understanding, compassion and insight to end of life care,” said Deborah L. Nicholson, CoLC board president.
Eberhart started working in healthcare at eye doctor and dental health practices. She then worked in the critical care unit at a local hospital and a non-medical homecare company in Berks County before taking her current role at Mifflin Court.
“I take pride in being able to help prospective residents and their loved ones feel comfortable with their
transition to senior living/ personal care in their time of need,” Eberhart said. “Although I do not take an active role in their day-to-day care, I enjoy being able to see them flourish in our community as part of the Mifflin Court family.
“In the marketing capacity, I enjoy building relationships with external healthcare professionals as we assist our mutual patients to regain their independence and receive the top-notch care they deserve.”
In addition to being on the Advisory Board for The Circle of Life Coalition, Eberhart also serves on the Healthnet of Berks County committee and the Berks Encore Senior Expo committee.
