We recently collaborated with Thrive Outside on a family nature walk at the Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge! The hike was designed to be inclusive, ensuring that everyone, regardless of ability, could participate and enjoy the experience. To anyone who suggests that there is only one way to hike, our response is "SAYS WHO." To learn more about the #SaysWho initiative and products, visit https://sayswho.us/ This event was made possible by a grant from the van Beuren Charitable Foundation. Thank you to Pezza Orthodontics and Says Who for sponsoring the prizes, photographer, and hike leader! And to Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island, Rhode Island Department of Health, Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management RIDEM (Rhode Island State Parks and Rhode Island Division of Fish and Wildlife Outdoor Education), and Raw Elements USA for donating nature exploration materials for our participants! Finally, thanks to Thrive Outside for their partnership, and to AccessPoint RI, family, and friends who joined us on this memorable outing!

Thank you CPNRI for hosting a wonderful event!
This is what employee #appreciation looks like. 👏 More than 350 people showed up to say THANK YOU to the very best in disability care. We honored 26 Direct Support Professionals of the Year for their impactful work. It is one thing to say thank you, it is another to show it. So thank you DSPs for the work you do every day. 💚
