It’s a calling that started with their parents, who opened their home to people from Mexico. “Since a young age we accompanied people to doctor appointments and meetings to help them translate and complete paper work,” says Demetrio, who with Ricardo is a social worker at OHSU family medical clinics. Leroy and Lorena are school social workers in Woodburn, where the siblings grew up. FACES OF CARING SANDRA MEUCCI JERI KIEFEL JOSEPH GALLEGOS ’73
