Dear Friends and Supporters,
I hope this message finds you well. I want to take a moment to share some important personal news with all of you. I have recently been diagnosed with cancer, which means I will be stepping back from my role for approximately six weeks to focus on my family, treatment and recovery.
I want to reassure you that our agency is in a strong position. Our dedicated Directors and Management Team, along with our amazing Board of Directors, are all doing exceptionally well. I have complete confidence in their leadership during my absence. The Directors you work with, along with our Administrative Team, will remain your primary points of contact but please continue to CC: me in communications as I will continue to support my team during recovery. I have cross-trained my team thoroughly, ensuring that there will be no disruption in patient care while I am away.
Early detection was critical in my case, and I am grateful for the proactive cancer screening test that I opted to pay for out-of-pocket. It’s a reminder of how important it is to take charge of our health.
While my recovery will be gradual, I plan to check in regularly and stay connected with my teammates to insure that everything continues to run smoothly.
Thank you for your understanding and support during this time. I look forward to a strong recovery and to returning to work with renewed passion and dedication, ready to tackle the challenges ahead together in our mission of providing truly life-changing care!
Robert "Bob" Dorshimer, CEO
