MCAP UPDATE
By Mary C. Pugh, Esq., Executive Director, MCAP CAP celebrates Patricia Teaford! Happy tenth work anniversary with MCAP. Although Pat’s official title with MCAP is Program Coordinator, to our MCAP advocates and employees she is so much more. Lovingly referred to as the “heart” or the “brains” of MCAP, Pat is the command center who oversees the smooth functioning of daily operations, so we can help abused and neglected children each day. Pat’s primary responsibilities include identifying MCAP advocates to represent children in cases, maintaining the case management system and data, coordinating the administrative work for staff, and assisting with fundraisers. However, what Pat does best is care for and listen to everyone. She makes the people around her feel important and special. Besides making others feel important, Pat freely shares her rich work and life experiences with others, fostering an empathic relationship with colleagues, partners, and the families. For over 20 years she has worked with law firms and in companys’ legal departments in management and supervisory roles. She began her career working in the medical field working as an Emergency Room Supervisor with Sacred Heart Hospital, a volunteer Emergency Medical Technician with
M
Whitemarsh Community Ambulance, and a unit administrative assistant for Mercy Suburban Hospital in the Intensive Care Unit.
