What Is Your Favorite Thing About Summer?
As summer begins to wind down, our Home Health Aide team members had great insights about what makes this season so special. In response to our May raffle question—“What is your favorite thing about summer?”—316 of you shared your heartfelt reflections about what makes summer such a special time.
A common theme was deep appreciation for the great outdoors. Many HHAs highlighted the lush greenery and the vibrant bloom of flowers, while others celebrated the simple pleasures like enjoying the warmth of sunshine, taking in breathtaking sunsets, and relaxing by the pool or at the beach. Others were excited for gatherings with loved ones, like barbecues and reunions.
Our Three Prize Winners: We took the names of all the HHA team members who participated in the May raffle question, put them together, and drew three at random. The winning team members were Odel Warneke, Huiyun Zhu, and Tanisha Walker.
