July 25th marks National Hire a Veteran Day! We're spotlighting Anna, who joined our IT team as a Service Desk Specialist in June 2024. Anna enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2013. Reflecting on her experience, Anna stated, "The Marine Corps taught me a lot about responsibility, professionalism and success." Anna was attracted to her current role at Easterseals PORT Health because of its community-focused mission and its welcoming and supportive environment. During the interview process, she identified with our IT team’s commitment to supporting fellow ESPH team members so they are in turn, better positioned to support individuals in the community. "Seeing that shine through made me want to be part of the team." Easterseals PORT Health is committed to IDEAL principles: Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Authenticity and Learning. The IDEAL principle that Anna relates to most is Diversity. “During my time in the military, I saw firsthand how including people with different experiences positively changed how things were done.” We are proud to have Anna on our team and grateful for her service and dedication!

This Pride Month, I am honored to celebrate the inclusive spirit at Easterseals Affiliates nationwide, where acceptance is not just a goal but a daily reality. Denise Mannon, Chief Compliance Officer at Easterseals UCP North Carolina & Virginia, beautifully encapsulates this ethos: "At Easterseals PORT Health, acceptance is the norm, not the exception." Denise's words resonate deeply with our commitment to creating workplaces where every individual feels valued and respected. I am incredibly proud that our Affiliates foster environments where staff can bring their whole selves to work, and participants can thrive knowing their identities are seen and valued.

Once again, Easterseals PORT Health was a Silver Sponsor of the i2i Center for Integrative Health’s spring conference. Twice a year, i2i convenes healthcare leaders to solve the most important issues affecting behavioral health, intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and primary healthcare in North Carolina. It was another successful event! Big shout out to Amy Corder, Billing Account Supervisor with Orbit Billing Solutions, who won our Foot Massager raffle! We hope it helped soothe her tired feet after walking in and out of the great sessions that were held this week. #eastersealsporthealth #i2iconference #inclusion #disabilityadvocate #accessibility #disabilityservices @Luanne Welch
