“This alliance is about expanding our capacity to care,” said Murray. “By uniting the strength, expertise and passion of UMCH Family Services and CHOICES, we can reach more children and families in more ways with greater impact than ever before.”
UMCF builds on deep community roots and trusted reputations of both agencies to deliver stronger, accessible programs and services. For community partners and supporters, the new alliance means:
• Consistent collaboration – Partners will continue working with the same trusted teams in Columbus, Dayton, and across regions.
• Expanded capacity – Shared expertise and combined resources enable stronger and more responsive programs and services.

She is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervisor Designation (LISW-S).
Her two decades of leadership include roles as CEO and Chief Program Officer at Daybreak, clinician at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Medical Center, Adjunct Professor at Wright State University, among other leadership, clinical and academic roles.
Under Murray’s leadership, UMCF will build upon its heritage to expand access, deepen programmatic reach and invest in its team.
