2023 Employee Awards at Hattie Larlham

Last week, we celebrated all of our AMAZING Hattie Larlham employees and the special ways they bring comfort, joy and achievement into the lives of the people we serve. It was an honor to recognize some of the shining stars on our team during our annual year-end celebrations and to reflect on the countless ways our employees make life better and brighter for people with disabilities every day.
