You're making a difference and we're excited to celebrate you during !

And this month, the American Nurses Assocation (ANA) is providing resources for nurses around these areas: Self-Care, Recognition, Professional Development, and Community Engagement.

This year's theme is “Beyond the Conversation," i.e. "How do we move beyond awareness and discussion to action?"

Last Fall, we took our commitment to the next level by investing in a larger space to better accommodate diverse needs (e.g. wheelchairs, vans, etc.). In this new space, we're even able to house the day program for one of the facilities we serve, which has allowed us the privilege to interact with patients on a more personal level.

Please join us in celebrating this inspiring community during .
