🌟 Board Member Spotlight - Gary Maggart 🌟

Gary is a lifelong resident of Wilson County, with the exception of his college years. His parents instilled in him the importance of hard work, respecting the dignity of all people, and serving others. These values guided him to pursue a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree from East Tennessee State University in 1973, followed by a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from the University of Tennessee in 1976.

Gary began his career as a mental health therapist, serving eight years at the Wilson County Mental Health Center (now Cumberland Mental Health). He then transitioned into human resources, spending 15 years in leadership roles with Cracker Barrel Restaurants and 19 years with LifeWay Christian Resources. After retiring from LifeWay in 2017, Gary served part-time as a church administrator for Immanuel Baptist Church in Lebanon, where he and his wife are longtime members. He fully retired in 2020 but continues to give back, serving on multiple church and community committees in a volunteer capacity.

Gary is blessed with his wonderful wife, Denise, two adult children, and five grandchildren. He cherishes time with family, especially watching his grandchildren play sports. In his free time, Gary enjoys hiking, biking, pickleball, kayaking, fishing, traveling, and continuing his lifelong commitment to serving others.

We are grateful to have Gary’s wisdom and experience on our Board of Directors. His commitment to serving others and his community is an incredible asset to our mission. 💚

Sometimes, it’s easier to talk with people who’ve been there. The purpose of group therapy is to connect with others who know what it’s like and help each other work through life’s ups and downs. You’re not just talking to a therapist; you’re surrounded by people who are facing their own struggles too. It’s a chance to share experiences, give support, and find new ways to handle life together. 💚

Call us to learn about our group therapy options! 📞
