Staff Spotlight: Meet Lucia Aguilar!
Lucia's connection to LSA Family Health Service began long before her career here. As a teenager, she volunteered at LSA as she accompanied her mother, who received services. Today, after more than 22 years of dedicated service to the East Harlem community, Lucia continues to play a vital role.
She started her career in data entry, moved into advocacy, and then became the Director of Family Support Services. Throughout her journey, she never lost her passion for helping others. Drawing from her own experiences, Lucia understands many of the challenges community members face and is committed to providing support and compassion to those who walk through our doors.
Among her proudest moments are watching children and families thrive over the years. She fondly remembers seeing one child grow from a two-year-old participant into a college student attending school on a full scholarship!
One of the things she is most excited about is LSA's new Wellness Center, which improves services through streamlined operations, reduced wait times, and a greater emphasis on dignity for clients.
Lucia remains proud to be part of LSA's mission and looks forward to continuing to support, advocate for, and uplift those who rely on the organization's services. Thank you, Lucia, for continuing to be a smiling face and a trusted champion for the families we serve.
