We spent most of this week in Nashville at the Tennessee Health Care Association’s Annual Convention, and it was such a great week for our team! 💙
We were especially proud to have two of our employees honored during the convention!
🏆 Jaden Rosser, COTA, was named Caregiver of the Year for the Memphis District! Jaden is now one of six district winners competing for the state title, which will be announced in November. We are so proud of you, Jaden! ❤️
🎓 Toni Williams, RN, one of our Unit Managers, received a THCEF scholarship through the association to help her continue working toward her BSN. We are so excited to see Toni continue her education and grow in her career!
We also got to experience an amazing trade show with hundreds of vendors showcasing products, services and ideas to help make long-term care communities even better.
One of the best parts of the convention was hearing Captain Rick Phillips, the real-life survivor of the 2009 pirate hijacking that inspired the movie Captain Phillips. His story was an incredible reminder that we all have our own “pirate-like” stories and challenges we have to overcome.
Biggest takeaway: Never lose sight of the ultimate goal. Whatever comes your way, you can face it with a well-trained crew beside you. 💙
KDSH has a great crew! Congratulations, Jaden and Toni! We are so proud of you both! 👏❤️
