On Wednesday, as part of JCHAI's DSP Appreciation Week celebration, two extra-special members of our DSP team were selected to be honored this year for their above-and-beyond dedication to the well-being of our members! 💜

🌟 Shona Joshua — For over 20 years, Shona has been a warm and friendly face to JCHAI members, their families, and her fellow staff. She has always been ready to pitch in wherever needed, supporting members as they build and strengthen their independent living skills and even taking calls after hours when they need additional support.

Shona has truly poured her heart and soul into her work with our members. Her dedication, compassion, and willingness to go above and beyond have made a lasting impact on the JCHAI community, and she has set a high standard for others to strive toward.

🌟 Yolanda Barnett — Since joining JCHAI in October 2024, Yolanda has brought a smile to everyone she meets. She comes to work each day with a warm, friendly, and positive attitude that is truly infectious to those around her.

Yolanda consistently goes above and beyond in supporting the members she works with. She approaches challenges with patience, compassion, and encouragement, always looking for ways to help members feel supported and successful. Her positive spirit, dedication, and genuine care for our members have made her a valued part of the JCHAI community.
