Sharon Goretsky is Vice-Chair, Hadassah Zionist Affairs and Co-Chair, Hadassah Nurses and Allied Health Professionals Council. She is past region president of Hadassah Southern Seaboard and a member of the Hadassah Writers’ Circle. She has Zionism in her genes. Her grandfather coordinated the collection and shipment of supplies for the Jewish defense organizations in pre-state Israel, and her great-aunt was a strong supporter of Hadassah and its dental school in Jerusalem, having raised significant funds for both. Sharon is a nurse practitioner and lives with her husband and family in Virginia. Her daughters are 5th generation Hadassah members. While Hadassah’s hospitals initially inspired Sharon to get involved in the organization, she has found another passion in Hadassah’s advocacy work both in the US and Israel. Sharon is proud to be a life member of Hadassah.
