Home Away From Home: Builders Visits Shepherd Center’s Sanctuary for Families
At Builders, our role as a workers’ compensation insurer in Atlanta extends far beyond processing claims for our injured workers. We see ourselves as intimately connected to the well-being of the individuals we serve, aiding their journey toward recovery after workplace accidents. Across the years, our promises to the workers we insure have cultivated a robust partnership with Shepherd Center, a nationally-renowned hospital specializing in the complex rehabilitation of head and spinal cord trauma. Our mutual mission is rooted in compassion and dedication to helping patients reclaim their lives.
Recently, a Builders team had the pleasure of revisiting Shepherd Center, this time with a specific focus on the Arthur M. Blank Family Residences they inaugurated last year. Our tour was thoughtfully guided by three devoted professionals from Shepherd Center: Lynne Elander, Marketing Analyst; Gloria Fagan, Workers’ Compensation Outreach Manager; and Ali Prickett, Philanthropy Officer. Their passion for their calling was apparent as they led us through the beautifully designed and hospitable spaces.
As a workers’ compensation provider, we grasp the deep impact that injuries have, not only on the individual but also on their entire support system. The Arthur M. Blank Family Residences directly address this essential need by providing a cozy and uplifting environment for families who have often journeyed long distances and made considerable sacrifices to remain by their loved one’s side. These aren’t just rooms; they are sanctuaries offering a sense of normalcy during an exceptionally difficult time. This charming and convenient housing actively alleviates the logistical burden on relatives, allowing them to concentrate on their indispensable role of supplying the precious morale that is so fundamental to the recovery process. As eloquently expressed during the facility’s opening last year, it truly serves as a critical “home away from home” for families navigating tragedy and hope.
Shepherd Center’s thorough approach to rehabilitation resonates with our own devotion to ensuring that injured workers receive not only the necessary medical treatment but also the seamless claims excellence needed for their voyage back to wellness.
We extend our sincere appreciation to Lynne, Gloria, and Ali for their enlightening tour and for their dedication to the individuals and families they serve. We also want to thank Fredisha Kindred, Jeremy McMichen, Belinda Fleming, Drake Dunaway, Joseph W. McMichen, Jackie Fogas, Marilyn Payne, and Susan Graham for their participation in this visit.
Our enduring relationship with Shepherd Center remains a source of pride for Builders, embodying our mutual vision of compassion and care, and we’re honored to witness and bolster their vital work within the Atlanta community.
