We had the pleasure of welcoming Congressman Brad Finstad to PossAbilities on Friday to discuss our rich heritage, the people with disabilities who rely on our services each day, our stellar employees, families, and case managers, and potential grants. We had an engaging conversation about the Achievement Hub, a groundbreaking initiative PossAbilities is spearheading to reduce government dependency. Congressman Finstad was complimentary of our 98-100% employee retention and our thrust to develop a sustainable model of service through collaboration and partnerships with local business, medical, educational, agricultural, and other providers.
