The number of compassionate staff members dedicated to our youth and their families is, without a doubt, what keeps HeartShare St. Vincent’s beating. From the frontline workers who are there every day to provide our youth with the support and guidance they need to our office staff who make sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, we are grateful for every single member of Team HeartShare.
Every year, HeartShare St. Vincent’s asks our staff to nominate twelve colleagues who they feel genuinely embody what it means to be a hero. Once selected, we honor those individuals in a celebration called “Heroes Among Us.” This year was no different. We gathered on a beautiful Summer day to celebrate our team—our heroes.
Introducing our 2024 Heroes Among Us!
