On behalf of ORIMHA, we want to recognize Morrison Child & Family Services for their support of six of their Spanish speaking providers achieving endorsement! We truly appreciate their partnership, time, and feedback, throughout this process. Morrison's leadership and support (particularly Lucrecia and Katie) was instrumental through this Endorsement journey. It has been such a privilege to walk alongside these professionals. Congratulations and felicidades to everyone who is now Endorsed as IFS and IFRS! Many thanks and much appreciation.
