Over the past few seasons, we’ve gained new appreciation for what it means to be ‘together’. Whether being able to gather with loved ones, welcome back colleagues to our common work environments, or once again participate in team-building activities, the past year has allowed us to enjoy more of the personal and professional connections that are so important to us all.
Throughout this holiday season, and over the coming year, it is our hope that we can all find time for activities that bring us together with our loved ones and fill us with both joy for the moment and hope for the future.
During this busy time of year, we wish you moments of rejuvenation and rest. Thank you for the compassion and commitment that you bring to every care interaction. Whether you are working through the holidays, or are planning to enjoy time spent with family and friends, we wish you a safe, joyful time.
Thank you to everyone who participated in our festive spirit days
