Bradley Childs

Jill Barnes

I lost several friends to the AIDS pandemic in the late 80s and was happy to find PCC when I moved to Charleston from Richmond. I started volunteering for PCC in 1993 and in 2004, was honored to become part of the staff at this vital nonprofit organization. My first career interest was Theater. I designed and painted scenery for many organizations, including the Richmond Ballet Theatre, Theater Three in New York and Spoleto here in Charleston. I still love live shows and music of any kind!

I have been with PCC for 17 years. I originally chose to work here because I enjoy educating and empowering people to enhance their quality of life. I am grateful to work with an incredible group of people whom I consider family. If the sun is out and I am not working, then I would likely be found at the beach or pool. I enjoy painting and refurbishing furniture, needlepoint, gardening, and crossword puzzles.I love to use humor and see people laugh. I am originally from Memphis, TN, but I made my home in Charleston over 20 years ago.

I have been working at PCC a little over a year now. I’ve wanted to get into the medical side of social work for a long time and when the opportunity presented itself, I could not pass it up. This organization provides tremendous support for clients from helping them navigate the diagnosis, to assisting them in living everyday healthy lives. A fun fact about me is I am really good at finding four leaf clovers! I found one while on horseback during a lesson!

I have been with PCC for two years. My favorite thing about working here is the relationships I get to build with my clients. It’s really amazing getting to watch some of them grow in their independence, confidence, and knowledge of their health over time. My husband and I have a Dalmatian named Dolly that we love! She is my running buddy and is just the sweetest dog.

PCC aligns with my personal vision and goal to help vulnerable members in my community. My favorite part of working here is that everyone shares the same goal of connecting our clients with much needed resources.
