🌟 A meaningful evening in Chattanooga celebrating “firsts” with Chattanooga State! 🌟

Our Morning Pointe associates were honored to attend the Dinner of Firsts, an annual event supporting first-generation college students and recognizing leaders who champion education and opportunity. This year’s celebration honored Tiffanie Robinson — Managing Partner and CEO of Aslan Holdings, former Hamilton County School Board member, and the first in her family to attend college. Her story made the night especially inspiring. 💛

We were also proud to see Morning Pointe Senior Living co-founder Greg Vital serve as a presenting sponsor and co-host of the event, underscoring our ongoing commitment to education and workforce development.

Morning Pointe’s partnership with Chattanooga State Community College — and many other colleges across the region — is strengthened through the Morning Pointe Foundation’s scholarship program, which helps future nurses, therapists, and healthcare professionals begin their careers with confidence. 💙
