“For everyone to whom much is given, much will be required; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, even more will be asked.”
I take those words to heart. I have been richly blessed—with love, friendship, health, opportunity, and the ability to serve others. And I believe those blessings come with responsibility.
My passion for this work isn’t just professional; it’s spiritual. I believe we are called to care for those who once cared for us. And I believe each of you feels that same calling—that’s why this facility thrives, why our board came alive, and why the men & women who call Martha T Berry home are living their best lives!

Martha T Berry provides an invaluable service to the community. I am deeply committed to improving the lives of individuals and supporting the families who care for them. I believe in helping and supporting all patients who need care and love.
Serving on the board allows me to contribute my experience, advocate for patient centered care and help provide care, dignity and respect for some of the most vulnerable patients.
I serve because I believe deeply in the organization’s mission and its commitment to improving lives through compassion, dignity, and opportunity. The work of Martha T. Berry aligns closely with my own values as a healthcare leader: advocating for vulnerable populations, ensuring access to essential resources, and supporting people through some of their most difficult moments.
Professionally, I have spent my career focused on quality, safety, and equitable care. Serving on this board allows me to extend that commitment beyond my hospital role and into the community in a more direct and lasting way. Most importantly, I serve because I believe that leadership comes with a responsibility to give back. Being part of Martha T. Berry allows me to do that in a way that is both purposeful and impactful.
My commitment to the Martha T. Berry Foundation is rooted in the belief that every individual deserves compassionate, high-quality care, regardless of their circumstances.
Serving on this board allows me to advocate for our most vulnerable residents and ensure they have access to the resources and support they need. The meaning of this service lies in knowing that we are making a difference in the quality of life for seniors in Macomb County, providing them with a sanctuary of care and compassion.

I have been on the MTB Foundation Board since it started. It is an honor to have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the residents of this facility and the community.
Being on the Foundation board gives me the opportunity to make a positive impact on residents’ lives by helping to improve the quality of care and services offered at the nursing home. We support fundraising initiatives that provide essential resources, equipment, and programs for residents and staff. We advocate for the needs of seniors in the community and help shape policies that affect their well-being. I experience personal fulfillment by helping this vulnerable population and making a lasting difference in their lives and their families.
I look at this as an extension of my Company Always Best Care, where we aid in their home, or, we assist in finding the right facility that provides the care that they need. Everyone should be allowed access to the care they need.
My passion for seniors stems from an early age. I was a tour guide for a senior travel company. After experiencing that, I knew I was going to always be involved in the Senior Care industry.
The professional and personal growth has been amazing, and I am blessed to work alongside this group of compassionate and caring professionals in the healthcare industry.
I have cared for my own parents and in-laws, which has strengthened my passion for advocating for seniors and supporting their quality of life. I have personally witnessed the exceptional care provided by the Martha T. Berry staff when a family member was a resident there. The care given was with dignity, compassion, respect, and the kindness everyone wishes for their loved ones. That experience demonstrated what true, patient-centered care should look like.
Serving on this board allows me to help ensure that other families can access the same high level of care, regardless of financial circumstances. It also gives me the opportunity to be a voice for those who may not be able to advocate for themselves and to help strengthen care for one of our most vulnerable populations. This work is a meaningful way for me to give back, guided by gratitude, purpose, and a strong sense of responsibility.
I am honored to serve on the Martha T. Berry board, a role fueled by my deep commitment to excellence in senior care. My dedication to this work is a tribute to the legacy of my grandparents, whose lives inspired my passion for supporting our aging community.
I believe every senior deserves the best care regardless of financial circumstances. Serving on the Martha T. Berry foundation board allows me to advocate for elders and support compassionate care that honors dignity, comfort, and humanity.
My grandmother who raised me, Mary, spent her final days at Martha T. Berry Medical Center, where she was cared for with dignity, compassion, and genuine love.
As someone who raised me and played a foundational role in shaping who I am today, knowing that my grandmother was treated with respect and kindness meant everything to me and my family.
Serving on the Martha T. Berry Foundation Board is my way of honoring her legacy and helping other families receive the same treatment they need for their loved ones.
This work is personal, meaningful, and purpose-driven for me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve in her honor.
My name is Kristina Bradley, and I serve on the board of Martha T. Berry because I am deeply committed to ensuring that every senior—regardless of financial means—has access to safe, compassionate, and dignified care. In my role as a local advisor with Oasis Senior Advisors, I work closely with families as they navigate senior living and placement decisions, and I see firsthand how overwhelming and limited options can be when financial resources are scarce.
Serving on the board allows me to give back in a meaningful way by advocating for vulnerable elders, supporting quality care, and using my professional experience to help strengthen care for those who need it most. My purpose is rooted in service, compassion, and ensuring no senior is left without guidance or support during critical life transitions.
