๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’™This Spring. Opportunity Works is moving to an electronic healthcare record system to streamline documentation. The company we chose is eHana. We have spent several months working on building our workflows to be perfect for implementation. We were finally able to meet some of the representatives who have been helping us.

A huge thank you to Lindsey, Rachel, and Maralee for their hands on training last week and the basket of nifty eHana gifties.

Last week kicked off the OpArt exhibit, open until April 25th! We had an amazing receptions with the artists and their families and friends. Check out some of the work here but PLEASE go visit the on 65 Water St In Newburyport Wednesday through Sunday 11AM-5PM to see these amazing works in person! All artwork by the OpArtists are for sale as well as the thank you cards.

Additionally you may have noticed the incredible portraits of some familiar faces. A new volunteer, John Douglass, has, in an effort to improve his painting skills, created 36 portraits of our current roster of artists. The result is absolutely stunning and incredibly moving. The works aren't for sale, as OpArt volunteer John is offering them as gifts to the artists and their families.
