CHILDREN ’ S HOME SOCIETY OF FLORIDA
Empowering families in the provision of nurturing care , Marcus Johnson , Children ’ s Home Society of Florida ’ s CIO , discusses where technology plays a role
Looking to give parents and families the tools to cultivate nurturing and safe homes for their children , Children ’ s Home Society of Florida ( CHS ) ultimately wants to end the need for foster care as we know it through early intervention .
By reaching families before crises occur , CHS helps them stay safe and strong together , giving children more chances to thrive . A dedicated team of 1,300 professionals work together to support the children of Florida under a common goal : to create a world where all children have the tools and support they need to realise their full potential .
Part of this inspiring team is Dr Marcus Johnson , a retired Army Veteran and CHS ’ passionate CIO . Although he does not directly interact with the families CHS serves , Johnson is driven by his team ’ s goal to make the lives of those staff on the frontline easier , giving them more time to focus on the children .
“ I am laser-focused and heavily motivated to help our staff fulfil their responsibilities as efficiently and productively as possible . I want nothing more than to empower every member of the CHS organisation with reliable tools which , in turn , lead to improved services for those children and families that I myself do not interact with ,” explains Johnson .
