November is National Family Caregivers Month. This is a time to recognize the incredible dedication of family caregivers who offer their love and support to those who need it most.

We are starting strong with this month's Employee Spotlight. Meet Candi, a Professional Counselor. She loves how Cuyahoga continues to grow. "There is a recognition that we can continually learn, grow, and improve and, therefore, offer more options and opportunities to those we support." Candi loves experiencing everything she can—travel, concerts, plays, basketball games, board games, kayaking—but her favorite thing is spending time with her wife and children. #EmployeeSpotlight #BestEmployees Image description: Candi smiling.
