He will be visiting Arizona and attending our upcoming \u201cEvening in the Garden\u201d fall fundraising event on Nov. 20 at the Desert Botanical Garden. We recently took the opportunity to learn a little more about him.<\/p>\n<p>Our event theme of \u201c<em>Sowing the Seeds of Dignity, Compassion and Love<\/em>\u201d resonates deeply with Kris. His journey with MOM started with \u201cseed planting\u201d while he was a general manager at a golf course in Maryland, a location where MOM hosted one of its main annual fundraisers. A seed was planted in him, and he knew he wanted to learn more about the organization and help support the cause.<\/p>\n<p>His relationship with MOM grew over years of helping to host the fundraiser and eventually led to him taking a position on the board of directors, where he served for 10 years and learned all about the operations of each region. When the board approached him about taking on the role of CEO, he felt like it was another seed being planted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d already been in love with the organization and believe in the mission. This new leadership role gives me an opportunity to let God work through me to accomplish some extremely worthy work,\u201d he says. \u201cAt the end of the day, what we\u2019re really trying to do is make people healthier and make their lives better, and do that with great compassion, dignity and love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kris wants to grow MOM so the organization can serve as many patients as possible while always remembering that every patient matters. He appreciates how each of the regions diligently works to add services without adding expenses. Most of that work is done by \u201cplanting seeds\u201d and cultivating relationships. For example, in Arizona, patients are blessed with additional services provided by eye care specialists, a podiatrist and a dermatologist \u2013 all who have generously volunteered their time and expertise to help those in need.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe continue to look at ways to expand our services with programs like nutrition education, dental services, mental healthcare and more,\u201d Kris says. \u201cThe healthcare professionals who come and volunteer their time are incredible people who thoroughly understand what we are doing. God opens doors and brings people to MOM so we can continue to further our amazing work in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without MOM, Kris believes the patients MOM serves would simply go without care. The volunteers provide services that they, without question, need to live longer and healthier lives.<\/p>\n<p>When he is not working to support MOM\u2019s mission, Kris enjoys spending time with his wife, 24-year-old son and 20-year-old daughter. He also enjoys traveling when he can, so he is especially looking forward to his visit to Arizona later this fall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSowing seeds is what we do, and I can\u2019t wait to see the progress we\u2019re making in Arizona,\u201d Kris says. \u201cOur goal is to sow those seeds and let them grow in people \u2013 whether it be our patients, our volunteers, our staff or our donor network.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last July, Mission of Mercy welcomed a new CEO, Kris Anderson, who now oversees all three MOM programs \u2013 Arizona, Texas and Maryland\/Pennsylvania.
