CELEBRATING 10 years of Connections!

---

 "Connections is the best place to work. For me they have healed wounds that they did not create. Having a family-based employer is extremely important to me. I am not sure how my life would be right now if I had not made that change years ago. I owe many people within this company a lot, as they showed me kindness and support that I had not received anywhere else before. When you feel valued and appreciated your days never feel like work. I am forever grateful for Connections!" 

 "Connections to me is….AMAZING!  While I haven’t been with the company for long, I have never felt more valued and supported. When your manager tells you that you are doing a great job, and she appreciates you more than one time….that feels amazing. When your Regional Director calls you in person and says …..“I know you are going through a rough time with this case, but don’t worry we have your back and appreciate you”….that feels amazing. AND WHEN your COO reaches out to you, asks if you are doing ok, says you are doing a great job, and Connections appreciates the work you are doing…..again amazing. Connections doesn’t only say they care about their employees and people they serve, the ACTUALLY mean it and show it. When you’re talking to your 15-year-old about her future career aspirations and are talking about advocating for others and she says “like you do in your job mom” that’s EVERYTHING and working for Connections is the reason she recognizes that.   I feel like my work has meaning, and that makes a person want to get out of bed in the morning. Happy 10th Anniversary!" 

 "Connections to me is peace, balance, and happiness.  I am going on my 3rd year here at Connections and never have I felt more appreciated at my place of employment.  Connections allows me the chance to do my work in the way that works best for me.  Connections challenges me to continue learning.  It is a place that allows me to connect with my individuals and celebrate their wins over the years.  Connections is a place that will look at my challenges with me and help me to overcome those challenges and continue to grow as a case manager and a person.  I truly love my job, the people I work with, and the balance it brings to me and my family!" 

 "To me Connections is my family.  I was extremely nervous to make a switch from working for a provider of 20 years to case management at Connections 5 years ago, but since then, I have LOVED being at Connections every day!  Connections treats everyone like family and our leaders are ALWAYS willing to help us with resources and supports as needed.  Connections management empowers me so I can empower others and that is life changing. I am proud to call Connections my home!" 

 "Michele and Laura…

As we know, case management is NOT easy, and for those of us that have been around “for 100 years”, the one thing that we know to be consistent is that change is always right around the corner! 😊 With Connections, it has been refreshing and comforting to know that both of you started out as CMs.  It is recognized that you both remain grounded and are in the field with the rest of us, every day.   I value that you are approachable and make efforts to connect with your staff members.  You are appreciated!  Thank you for inviting me to join your team!  Congrats on 10 years!!"

 "Connections has made a world of difference in my life. I have only been here for a year but I have already learned so much. I love being apart of the lives of those I serve and celebrating with them when they've reached their goals. I love to see the smiles on their faces when they tell me about something fun they've done recently. I love to learn the new things that they are working on. I am honored that the individuals I serve allow me to be a small part in their story. Thank you to Connections for giving me the opportunity to work here and be a part of Connections' story as well." 

 “Connections is truly a blessing in my life. I feel incredibly grateful to be part of such an amazing company. There have been numerous occasions when I've taken a moment to thank God for the opportunity to work here. The support from everyone, including upper management, is truly heartwarming; they’re always there to lend a helping hand when needed. A heartfelt thank you to Connections, especially Laura and Michele, for your unwavering support in everything. I feel so blessed to get to know my individuals and families, and I cherish the meaningful connections we share.”

 "As I reflect on my 6 years with Connections Case Management, I am filled with a deep sense of gratitude and pride. This journey has been more than just a career; it has been a transformative experience that has shaped me both professionally and personally.

From the very beginning, Connections Case Management has been a place where innovation thrives, and collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. The support and camaraderie of my colleagues have been instrumental in my growth. Together, we have navigated challenges, celebrated successes, and continuously pushed the boundaries of what we can achieve.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my time here has been the opportunity to contribute to projects that make a real difference. Whether it's developing cutting-edge solutions or enhancing customer experience, the impact of our work is felt far and wide. This sense of purpose and the ability to see the tangible results of our efforts is incredibly fulfilling.

Moreover, Connections Case Management has always prioritized a culture of learning and development. The numerous training programs, workshops, and mentorship opportunities have empowered me to expand my skills and stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industry. This commitment to growth is something I deeply value and appreciate.

As I look to the future, I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. With a strong foundation and a clear vision, I am confident that Connections Case Management will continue to reach new heights. I am honored to be a part of this journey and look forward to many more years of shared success.

Thank you, Laura and Michele, for making these past seven years so memorable. Congratulations on 10 years, and here's to the next chapter!"
