Vizient Community Day 2018 was a SUCCESS!

Vizient volunteers and DAPS members had the opportunity to participate in breakout sessions which were snapshots of some of the classes DAPS provides those with PD, their care partners, family, and friends. It was a learning and interactive day!

DAPS and Vizient, although different in many ways, are alike in that we are in the business of caring, and we help others who are providing care to do so to the best of their abilities. In doing so, we strive to achieve positive outcomes and health benefits for those we serve.

THANK YOU to all those who participated and all those who volunteered!
