Christie Hinrichs
Christie has spent the majority of her adult life in service to elders, with a commitment to improving their quality of life. She says: All of us are aging. Some face it with avoidance, some with fear, some with bitterness…and some with JOY. Christie, who serves as president and CEO of Tabitha, a non-profit provider of health care services for older adult asks, “How can we embrace all that aging has to offer? All the wisdom, precious memories and opportunity to leave a legacy? How can we look at the world in such a way that the aging journey becomes one we DELIGHT in traveling?” She believes part of the answer lies in soaking up the wisdom and discovering the love elders have to offer. She says growing older is a privilege denied to many. “Let’s not regret it; let’s revel in it.”
