This is an exciting time at LifePath. As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, it is a time to reflect on all that we have accomplished. LifePath has grown exponentially since its beginnings as Franklin County Home Care. Resiliency has been key to our success. Through it all, we have remained committed to our mission of serving older adults, individuals living with a disability, and caregivers.
Providing essential services for half a century has had a profound effect on the individuals we serve. I often talk about the ripple effect of LifePath’s work. For every person to whom we can provide essential services, we impact that person’s life in ways big and small. For every support we can facilitate, other folks in an individual’s orbit are realizing the benefits of our work. It could be through the gift of time, space, and grace, or through knowledge, connectedness, or partnership. Family, friends, neighbors, caregivers, and communities are positively impacted.
We are constantly working to improve and strengthen LifePath. We will remain resilient. We will remain accessible. We will remain a reliable pillar of the community, touching the lives of over ten thousand people a year. We will create more ripples, and the ripples will extend further.
We can only do that with the ongoing support of our staff, volunteers, board members, and community partners, all of whom I am honored to serve alongside. As a team, our combined ripples can become a wave, and that wave will carry us into our next fifty years.
