December Staff Spotlight & Celebrations
We may not have any birthdays this month, but we definitely have reasons to celebrate!

Work Anniversaries

🎉 Hutch – 2 Years
Huge shout out to Hutch for two years of incredible support in both residential and community programs. The connections he builds with the people we serve create safety, trust, and genuine empowerment. He’s inclusive, dependable, and an absolute team player. We’re so grateful for everything he brings to the team.

🎉 Hollie – 2 Years
We’re also celebrating Hollie for her two-year anniversary as part of our outpatient therapy team. She is brilliant, thoughtful, and fiercely dedicated to supporting the people she works with. Her compassion and work ethic shine through everything she does, and her clients benefit every day from her expertise and care. We’re incredibly lucky to have her.

❄️ December Fun Corner
Notable Dates This Month:

Dec 3: International Day of Persons with Disabilities
