This month’s participant story highlights Todd and Monica and the importance of community, dignity, and feeling supported. These stories are a powerful reminder of why person-centered care matters—and why listening to the voices of those we serve is so important.

We’re grateful to Todd and Monica for sharing their journey with us.
