As Outreach Coordinator, Dana Hentschel is the face of Johnson McGinnis Elder Care Law in the community. In addition to coordinating and participating in outreach activities, Dana is editor-in-chief of The Continuum, the firm’s quarterly newsletter. She also coordinates the annual Time Out Workshop and other continuing education programs for professionals who serve the elderly and disabled.

A Hendersonville native, Dana earned a bachelor’s degree in business from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. After graduation, she joined Community Health Charities where she spent 11 years raising funds for more than 50 nationally known health charities. Rising through the ranks, she eventually served as the organization’s executive director. Dana also spent six years as community relations director at Elmcroft Senior Living before joining Johnson McGinnis Elder Care Law in 2017. 

Raised by her great-grandparents, Dana has always been drawn to work supporting older people. “I have an affinity for seniors and wanted to find a way to work with companies providing services for them,” says Dana, whose first exposure to Johnson McGinnis Elder Care Law & Estate Planning happened while working at Elmcroft.
