Jeffrey Lutchman: Membership Growth Consulted - Dedicated Senior Medical Center (ChenMed) 
I am Family Man with a beautiful Blended Family.  I have 4 Teenagers.  1 Boy who is oldest at 17, 3 girls 16, 15 and 13.  My motto in life with whatever I'm doing is 'paying if forward'.  I have served on the city board for 2 years. I have 15 years of Management Leadership experience, and I am a successful business owner.  I have been in healthcare industry for 3 years.  I have been with the ChenMed organization since September 2020.  What I love about what we do is it falls directly with what I stand for.  Paying if forward.  My role is to act like that bridge in between the Medical Clinic and the Community.  I help introduce the community to everything Dedicated Senior Medical Center Stands for and what we do.  We are leading the way when it comes to Coordinated Care.  Or goal is to simply keep our patients healthy, happy, and out of the hospital. I educate the community by hosting events and seminars.  Small events as Bingo night, Karaoke and Sip and Paint to big events such as Grocery give ways, Doc talks and Health Fairs.  I work side by side with all local business, community leaders, politicians, and most importantly the Senior Communities like assisted living facilities, 55+ communities and all Insurance companies.    What better way to pay if forward than to know that I'm helping a Senior live longer and healthier and happier life.
