Thank you from the Summit DD MUI Team
As another year comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to thank our entire provider community for their continued commitment and support of those we both serve.
We could not ensure the health and welfare of those with developmental disabilities in Summit County without your hard work and dedication. I look forward to strengthening our partnership and support for one another in the coming year.
As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any ideas you may have to improve our relationship or suggestions for new ways to partner in the future. On behalf of the whole Summit DD MUI team, I wish you and yours a very happy holiday season!
