Jimmy Elsner, Operations Manager, Operations
Recently we introduced you to a new team
member, Jimmy Elsner. Jimmy discovered
Samaritan Center and was struck by how
significantly our offerings and interests
aligned with his passions and talents. And
so were we! Initially, Jimmy signed on as
a consultant. In strategic discussions, we began to envision an
expanded role for Jimmy on the team. As Samaritan continues
to grow, our need for additional operational support was
becoming more evident. We were able to create a new position
for Jimmy that allows him to utilize his experience and also
expands our Management Team. We are excited to welcome
Jimmy as our first Operations Manager! His responsibilities
include increasing collaboration across Samaritan's various
service lines by working to create similar internal systems
as well as developing marketing initiatives to represent
Samaritan's services to the community.
