“Over the years I have assisted many clients who have spent their final years at the Pines," says Burchett in a statement. "I have visited clients at the Pines and I've attended events there with the Boy Scout Troop and Girl Scout Troop of my kids. I am thrilled to be given the opportunity to give back to the Pines after observing the loving interactions between the residents and the staff for over 25 years.”

Burchett started her term in January.
