Community Support: A New Name, Same Great Team

Posted on by Sheena Adams-Avery, CDT, CDP
A promotional graphic from Tennessee Disability Pathfinder announcing a team name update. Two women, Andrea Castillo and Jennifer Padron, are pictured with text that reads, "Same Team. New Name. We Updated Our Name! Community Support." Each woman is identified as a Community Support Coordinator.

We’ve made a small change at Pathfinder.

Our team that provides language access and community connection is now called Community Support.

While the name is new, our mission is unchanged: to help individuals and families from a variety of backgrounds and languages navigate disability resources. Our team continues to offer case management assistance and educational training presentations with the same passion and care.

You’ll still be working with the same friendly faces you know and trust, Andrea Castillo and Jennifer Padron, our Community Support Coordinators, who are both bilingual, have been at Pathfinder for three years, and remain committed to providing concierge-style service to the communities we serve.

If you speak a different language and need assistance finding resource information, our Community Support team is available to help at:

📧 TNPCommunitySupport@vumc.org
📞 (800) 640-4636 option 2

We’re here for you! Just under a new name.
