Over the past two decades, Jarrod has been instrumental in shaping our organization, making significant contributions that have propelled us forward in countless ways.

His work has not only enhanced our operational efficiency but also improved the quality of care we provide to our clients."

Let's give a big shoutout to Paige, our amazing Clinical Specialist at KVC! She has shown incredible dedication to KVC and the families we support.

Here's what a teammate shared about Paige:
"Paige is a breath of fresh air and amazing to work with! Paige and I have never met in person as we are on separate teams. However, I'm managing two cases that she is helping with outside of her region which is already above and beyond! Paige is a PCIT Clinician and works directly with the family. Both families have reported that Paige has helped them more than they thought possible. My involvement is checking in with Paige about each family weekly and it is so wonderful to have someone present updates with a positive mindset. KVC is lucky to have Paige on the team and I hope she is recognized for her ability to make families feel heard, supported, and comfortable throughout the intervention."
