2024 LifePath Staff

LifePath staff work tirelessly as they coordinate services, offer resources, place wellness calls, lend an ear, provide a calming presence, ensure consumers are receiving the care and support they need, and support one another to provide these essential services to our community. We appreciate what each person brings every day: service, flexibility, innovation, a sense of responsibility, and more. Thank you, LifePath staff members.
