Matt Hendrix not only tells about his passion to assist Active Older Adults, he stands by it and lives it out.    He has been working with Active Older Adults at the Donelson-Hermitage Family YMCA for years.  Last year we went through a transition time, Matt and his team made themselves available to answer any questions, calm any fears, and helped the Active Older Adults feel cared for in a trusting way.  We had a few members who were entering in that “season of life” and a member who has been working with Matt for years told them, you don’t want to listen to anyone else.  We typically run out of Matt’s business cards because people want to gain Matt’s knowledge.  His goal is to educate and help the Active Older Adult make the best decision for them.
