Holly Jerome
Director of Human Resources and Marketing
“I love the opportunity for growth that SEKMHC offers. I am thrilled to work for an organization whose board members and administrators are willing to support feedback from employees that result in increased wages, enhanced benefits, and additional leave time. It is rewarding to be a part of that change and advocacy. I have such a passion for mental health, and I have never met a more compassionate, caring, and dedicated group of people than the employees of SEKMHC.”
