We are thrilled to celebrate Lisa Hillhouse as our 2025 Employee of the Year.

Lisa is a wonderful example of service in leadership, and she embodies everything Communicare stands for: consistency that changes lives, compassion, and the ability to meet people where they are and remind them that they’re not alone.

Thank you, Lisa!

Also a big thank you to Panera Bread for catering!

A camel is a pretty good reminder for the middle of the week: keep going, even when the road feels long and the conditions are tough.

Hepatitis C is transmitted by blood, which means that infection doesn’t happen from just one thing. It also doesn’t always have symptoms until liver damage has already set in.

You can know for sure by getting tested for free at Communicare. If you have it, no worries! It’s highly curable, and we’ll treat it for free, too!

We’re celebrating Jennifer Thompson as our February Employee Spotlight! As a Peer Bridger for Communicare, she typically spends her days meeting our clients while they are navigating some of the most difficult moments of their lives. This was especially true during Winter Storm Fern when Jennifer Thompson went above and beyond to make sure our communities had the resources they need.

She is motivated every day by having the opportunity to help others who may not know how or have the resources to help themselves. She also hopes more people understand how powerful peer connections can be. Building trust with clients while they’re receiving treatment helps strengthen that connection to care and encourages them to continue with outpatient services once they return to the community.

You may not know this about Jennifer, but she spends a lot of her free time working on ideas for catering children’s birthdays, and she loves to grow her own vegetables to can and freeze during winter months.

Thank you, Jennifer, for the compassion, dedication, and encouragement you bring to the people we serve every day.

Sometimes when you’re in the middle of it, everything can feel like a spiral. With a small shift in perspective, that spiral can look a bit different.

Not an endless loop, but steady progress upwards.

If you’re feeling stuck in the spiral of addiction, anxiety, or depression and are struggling to find a new perspective on your own, we can help.
