Kim Berge, PA-C
Member at Large
Volunteer Coordinator Chair
Kim Berge has been very interested in working to identify the critical needs of the senior population in Santa Fe, and understands that Life Circle's adult day care center will provide a significant service to the community, that has been lacking.
She retired as a Physician Assistant in 2012, after having practiced in an outpatient setting for 30 years. As a result of her work, Kim saw a significant number of elderly clients who needed care during the day, as well as caregivers who needed respite from the challenge of juggling work and caring for a family member.
Kim currently acts as Life Circle's volunteer coordinator. She knows there is a wealth of talented and passionate seniors and other adults of all ages in Santa Fe that could help support others in the senior community. Please contact her at the Center if you would like to volunteer for Life Circle's adult day care!
