Congratulations to our Star Performer of the Month, Debbie Chartrand!

Star performer of the month, Debbie Chartrand

Here is what her colleagues have to say about her:

Debbie is an incredible supports coordinator and colleague. She has a calm, positive demeanor when she is working with her participants, and above all, she is always kind. As a result, she is excellent in a crisis and she is able to provide excellent support coordination by resolving any situation without the participant feeling any further stress. She also lends her knowledge, support, and assistance to her colleagues when they are facing crisis situations with their own participants. On top of all of this, she regularly volunteers to help out her CCD colleagues and TSA by signing up for Meals On Wheels routes.

Whether it is providing resources, assisting with housing, or helping participants obtain necessary medical equipment, Debbie has proven she will get the job done and done well!

We’re so proud of our team! Thank you!
