Concordia Promotes Staff Member to Director of Social Services

Cabot, PA – Concordia Lutheran Ministries Vice President of Skilled Nursing Charlene Kline recently announced the promotion of Butler resident Dave Fox to Director of Skilled Nursing Social Services at the Cabot campus.

Fox has been at Concordia for eight years, since coming to the organization as a social services coordinator. His responsibilities include supervising the social service case management and being the point person for any aspects related to the department.

Fox earned his Master’s degree in counseling services from Slippery Rock University and his bachelor’s degree in gerontology from California University of Pennsylvania. He also has a graduate certificate in gerontology from SRU.

Before Concordia, Fox worked in medical social services in home care and assisted living. He said he was drawn to the organization’s faith-based mission, continuing care model, and dedication to excellence.

“I was inspired to get into this line of work by Margo Pitts, who taught a course a Butler County Community College on perspectives in aging, and my great grandmother,” he said. “She always said ‘It’s easy to make a buck, it’s a lot tougher to make a difference.’”

Fox lives in Meridian with his wife of 21 years, Becky, their three children Nolan, 14, Allison, 11, and Evaline, 9, and dog Reuben. He is a lay preacher, “filling the pulpit” in many local churches. Previously, Fox and his wife served as missionaries in the Canary Islands.

In his spare time, Fox enjoys various family and church activities, hunting, and acting. He has performed in “Little Nell,” “Annie,” and “The Sound of Music.”
