More Information
The social service nonprofit industry in Central Mass. is full of a complex mix of organizations providing a variety of services, and sitting at the top is Dr. David A. Jordan at Seven Hills.
Jordan is the head of the largest nonprofit in the region with $285 million in annual revenue, 200 locations serving 30,000 individuals, 4,600 employees providing healthcare, educational and direct support, and more than $450 million in economic impact. Seven Hills has been on a bit of an acquisition spree, affiliating with other providers like YOU, Inc., Children’s Friend, and Family Services of Central Massachusetts.
In January, Seven Hills announced it would take those three organizations and create a Seven Hills Child & Family Behavioral Health in a 57,000-square-foot building on Gold Star Boulevard in Worcester. Jordan in the last year has used his clout to advocate for higher salaries for human services workers funded by state government, as the coronavirus pandemic highlighted the important work these people are doing.
What do you think the future holds for Central Mass.? “We are a region of urban diversity, rural hills and mountains, and a collective sense of energy that I have not seen replicated in all my travels. In short, our future here in Central Mass. looks promising indeed as long as we can hold on to our founding values of tolerance, empathy, and openness toward all.”
Love letter: “I was lucky to marry the love of my life, Dr. Kathee Jordan, who brings grace and kindness to my life and those she touches.”
