Today we’re celebrating Christian on his last day as a Project SEARCH Lee County intern with Lee Health Foundation — and what an incredible journey it’s been!

Christian has brought enthusiasm, heart, and a true willingness to learn every single day. We are so grateful for the impact he’s made on our team.

His mentor, Jacob, once stood in those same shoes. Jacob was also a Project SEARCH intern before being hired as a Stewardship Associate at Lee Health Foundation. Now, he’s paying it forward as a mentor.

We are so proud of you, Christian, and so thankful for leaders like Jacob who make a lasting difference!💙
