The “Community Award” is a new addition to the AAIDD’s recognition programs, designed to honor leaders who have made substantial contributions to the advancement of the intellectual and developmental disabilities field. Jean Phelps, who has led Incompass Human Services for nearly 20 years, was recognized for her dedicated efforts in championing the rights and inclusion of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Under her leadership, Incompass has grown its service portfolio through a combination of organic program growth, construction of new group homes, and mergers & affiliations – ultimately contributing to more inclusive and accessible community.

Upon receiving the award, Ms. Phelps shared her thoughts, “I am deeply honored to receive this recognition and lead such an incredible team of Care Champions. It’s really a testament to the commitment of every person at Incompass Human Services who work tirelessly to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, is valued and given the opportunity to lead fulfilling lives.”

Brad MacDougall, Chair of the Board at Incompass Human Services, added that “Jean is a wonderful person whose leadership has been nothing short of transformative for Incompass. She has not only steered our agency towards new heights but has also profoundly impacted the broader community by setting a standard for inclusion and advocacy. This award is a well-deserved acknowledgment of her visionary approach and unwavering dedication.”

Vincent Geromini

Incompass Human Services is excited to announce the appointment of Vincent Geromini and Kerri Dixon to our esteemed Board of Directors. With their extensive experience and passion for serving others, they are incredible additions to our team as we continue our commitment to our founding family’s mission and embark on our new strategic plan.

Vincent Geromini brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our board. Presently serving as a Consultant for SEI, Mr. Geromini has worked closely with executive and senior leadership teams globally, developing and executing ambitious strategic initiatives across both the public and private sectors. His direct experience with state Medicaid programs and his advisory roles in various consulting firms make him a valuable asset to Incompass Human Services.

Kerri Dixon

Kerri Dixon’s background in regulation and compliance, coupled with her dedication to special education, adds a unique perspective to our board. With 15 years of experience in government and corporate environments, including NASDAQ and Retirement Fiduciary Group, and an MBA from Simmons University, Ms. Dixon brings a wealth of knowledge to our organization. Her transition to becoming a Special Education teacher at the Dracut Public School System, where she works closely with children in residence who are struggling with mental health, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and abandonment, demonstrates her commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. Additionally, her certification as a Yoga Teacher further enriches her ability to support our mission of holistic care.

Brad MacDougall, Chair of the Incompass Human Services Board of Directors, expressed his excitement about the new additions, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome Vincent Geromini and Kerri Dixon to our board. Their diverse backgrounds and wealth of experience will be invaluable as we continue to advance our mission and deepen the wealth of knowledge at the Board level. I speak for my fellow Board members when I say we are all excited for the passion they both demonstrate for the work we are doing, and the people we are serving at Incompass.”

CEO Jean Phelps echoed these sentiments, remarking, “Vincent Geromini and Kerri Dixon bring a wealth of knowledge and dedication to our organization. Their demonstrated commitment to serving others make them incredible additions to the Incompass Board of Directors, and I’m thrilled to have them as Care Champions.”

As we celebrate 70 years of service in 2024, Incompass Human Services remains steadfast in our dedication to providing comprehensive support to individuals and families in need. With our new strategic plan guiding our efforts, we are excited to work alongside Vincent Geromini, Kerri Dixon, and the entire board to continue fulfilling our mission and driving our Care Champion culture for many years to come.

I want to start by expressing my deep gratitude to Tim, our past Chair, for his remarkable service. His leadership has been pivotal, and we are fortunate to continue benefiting from his wisdom as he remains an active member of the Incompass Board and Chair of the New England Human Services Collaborative (NEHSCO).

For those who don’t know me, my connection to Incompass is more than just professional; it’s deeply personal. The support my older brother receives in a group home in Merrimack Valley has a profound impact on our family. The team that supports him has provided him with so much; he is now even working at a job in the community. I can’t properly describe the sense of pride he has earning a paycheck, but I am forever grateful that he is able to have this experience. And isn’t that what it’s all about?

Incompass Human Services is a shining beacon of innovation and compassion. Throughout my tenure on the board, I have been consistently inspired by this community of caregivers who are truly engaged in our mission to empower the people we serve to live full lives.

To our incredible team, your dedication and compassion as Care Champions are the core of our success. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed – I thank each of you for your unwavering commitment and perseverance. The Board of Directors and Executive Leadership Team will continue to support you and spotlight you as we expand our impact.

I also extend heartfelt thanks to our NESCHO Affiliates – Bridgewell and The Arc of Opportunity. We have a shared vision to continue building a person-centered network rooted in innovating to help the most vulnerable thrive. Seeing some of the early returns like shared staff training and enhanced IT resources give me confidence that we will continue delivering on that vision together.

A special acknowledgment to our partners in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, including our elected officials. Your support is essential to our mission, and we value the relationships we have forged with all of you over the years. I’d love to personally invite you to visit Incompass, either at our Chelmsford headquarters or one of our numerous group homes throughout Greater Lowell, and see the impact that Care Champions have in your districts.

As we step into the Incompass Human Services Days of Giving in December, I encourage our extended network to generously contribute. Your support is vital in enabling us to continue our mission of empowering individuals to lead fulfilling lives. Every donation, big or small, helps us in our commitment to innovation and compassionate service.

In closing, I express my deepest appreciation for each one of you in our Incompass community. Together, we are poised for greatness. Our journey is one of progress, growth, and boundless compassion. I eagerly anticipate celebrating our shared achievements in the coming year and beyond.

Peace and gratitude,

Bradley A. MacDougall, Chair

This year, Earth Day fell on Friday, April 22 and Activities Specialist Cathy Brunelle once again put on a wonderful event! Day program participants at Incompass Human Services met outside of agency headquarters at 4 Omni Way in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, where Care Champions had setup stations with garden beds, flower pots, watering cans, and gardening tools. And this year was made even more special because a group of volunteers from the local BNI Global chapter!

“It’s been more than two years since we’ve been able to welcome members of the community to take part in an event like this, and the looks of joy on the faces of both the participants and volunteers said it all,” remarked Dan Esdale, chief marketing officer at Incompass.

Earth Day at Incompass is Really Earth Week!

As is tradition, each day hab room provided Care Champions with a list of seeds they wished to grow on Earth Day. And throughout the week, members of the Incompass community worked to prepare the garden beds and purchase soil so the group would have the tools they need to celebrate Earth Day right. Bianco’s Catering, who is also a tenant at 4 Omni Way, even got in on the fun providing individuals with the lettuce heads that were planted in the vegetable garden!

“We planted everything from onions to garlic to beans throughout the afternoon, and the weather could not have been better!,” said Brunelle.

Volunteers Had A Lot to Share About Their Experience…

For the volunteers from the BNI Power Players, it was their first time at Incompass Human Services – and their first chapter volunteer engagement since the beginning of the pandemic.

“My business is rooted in spreading joy, and spending the day with the Incompass day program participants was the definition of spreading joy,” remarked Dot Richards, vice president of the BNI Power Players and owner of Cards by Dot. “I loved being outside with the volunteers and participants!”

Ryan Hart, a financial advisor with New York Life and treasurer of the BNI Power Players remarked that he was impressed with the coordination of the event by the Care Champions, and could see the impact first-hand. “I was struck by just how genuine the Incompass team was in engaging us as volunteers, and ensuring they put on a great program for the people in their programs. And I can’t wait to see the progress of the vegetables that we planted throughout the day!”

The Earth Day Gallery

If you asked me a year ago where I would be now, my answer would be so far off from the reality of it all. While looking for internships a year ago, the Urban Youth Internship program at Incompass Human Services had absolutely nothing to do with what I was hoping to work towards after college. However, pursuing internships, especially during pandemic times, was a difficult endeavor, and I began to think differently about this opportunity to work in human services.

I didn’t know what to expect going in…but as I finish I can say it was a truly transformational experience.

Looking back in hindsight, I would not change a single thing about my decision and my experience at Incompass. Working with the individuals in the day habilitation program brought me immense joy on a day-to-day basis. It wasn’t just about gaining experience and a consistent paycheck; it transformed into pure love and care I held for each individual and my passion to help them in any way that I could as an advocate. I learned that, even though the internship didn’t seem to focus on my intended area of work, I built up this invaluable experience and a fierce passion that is applicable to any path in life I decide to walk. Almost a year later and I still feel like a completely different individual than I was before I stepped into Incompass on that first day.

After my summer internship had finished, I didn’t feel completely disconnected from Incompass— I didn’t want to be. I remembered a time when myself and my fellow interns gathered in a conference room with the chief marking officer, the director of day services and the CEO of Incompass. At the end of our brief meeting, the head of marketing and the director of day services joked that my creative writing specialization would be a great fit for their marketing team. And although it may have started as a mere joke, it piqued my interest. It was a position that was more applicable to my area of study, while allowing me to still serve as an advocate and a voice for all the individuals I worked with in the day hab.

The first Incompass marketing intern!

I reached out to the director of day services and inquired about a potential marketing internship. Since he had worked with me before and knew that I was passionate about Incompass and its mission, he said right away that formulating a new internship within the program for me was something that he would do everything in his power to make happen.

And so, he did. I spent the entirety of my spring semester working as a part of the Incompass marketing team – creating content, posting on social media, and working in tools that are part of the marketing technology stack. I felt confident in bringing my perspective of already having worked with the individuals in the day habilitation program into this marketing role. Working under Chief Marketing Officer Dan Esdale and Marketing & Fundraising Specialist Amaris Torres, I was taught a plethora of things that I never thought I would be exposed to before I graduated – including posting this very story through WordPress on incompasshs.org!

The next chapter…

This internship was truly tailored towards me through and through; we focused on the projects that would grant me just the right amount of experience in all the things that would benefit me in future job opportunities. It is an extremely rewarding feeling to be able to add things on to your resume that will help you stand out amongst other applicants, which is something I whole-heartedly attribute to the marketing team who were nothing but helpful all along the way.

Now that it is coming to an end, I know that my time at Incompass, whether it be in the day hab or working behind the scenes with the marketing team, will always be held near and dear to my heart.

PEABODY, MA – On Friday, April 1, Incompass Human Services joined six other northeast Massachusetts human services agencies to host elected officials at the annual “Northeast Human Services Advocacy Breakfast” at the Black Box Theatre in Peabody, MA. Given the fact that it was April Fool’s Day, the theme of the 2022 breakfast was “It’s No Joke,” with a robust policy agenda focused on the workforce crisis in the state’s human services industry.

More than 100 people attended the breakfast that was catered by the Breaking Grounds Café, a social enterprise operated by the Northeast Arc. Speakers included Senator Joann Lovely, Peabody Mayor Ted Bettencourt, Centerboard program director Martina Campbell, and Northeast Arc family member Carol McGee – whose sister receives services from the Northeast Arc. The breakfast was co-sponsored by a consortium of human services providers:

• Bridgewell
• Centerboard
• Key Program, Inc.
• Incompass Human Services
• Northeast Arc
• NFI Massachusetts
• Wayside Youth & Family

Human services leaders are asking for an increase to the Chapter 257 Rate Reserve that would bring wages to $20.30/hour

Northeast Arc CEO JoAnn Simons, Bridgewell CEO Chris Tuttle, NFI Massachusetts CEO Lydia Todd, and Incompass CEO Jean Phelps also made remarks in support of the workforce.

“We’re specifically asking lawmakers to set aside funds to raise the starting wage for human service workers,” remarked Tuttle.

Incompass CEO Jean Phelps at the podium.

Phelps, who had just returned from Washington, D.C. where she attended the Disability Policy Seminar, recalled words from Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley that stuck with her that morning. “It would be great if we didn’t have to weaponize our trauma around disability to adequately support our services.”

Incompass Human Services and the six other human services agencies sponsoring the event used the venue to highlight the major policy initiative being championed by The Collaborative – an increase of $581.6 million for the Chapter 257 Rate Reserve. This increase is a necessary investment in the human services industry, as it would bring wages up to a more competitive $20.30 an hour.

“Without this increase, we’re going to continue to lose workers to Amazon and to the state, and we won’t be able to offer the services and supports that the vulnerable people we serve rely on,” Todd told the crowd.

Speakers focused on the important work that human services workers perform, and the lives they touch

A high point of the morning was the legislative panel, which was moderated by Arc of Massachusetts CEO Leo Sarkisian. The panelists included:

• Senator JoAnn Lovely
• 

  Representative Jamie Belsito addresses the crowd.

  Senator Bruce Tarr

• Senator Brendan Crighton
• Representative Paul Tucker
• Representative Dan Cahill
• Representative Jamie Belsito
• Representative Thomas Walsh
• Representative Sally Kerans

“This is about dignity. This is about respect. This is about our communities. This is about our vulnerable populations,” said Representative Belsito in her remarks advocating for more support for the critical workers in the human services field.

Picking up on that theme, Representative Tucker remarked that “they do it because they have a passion for helping people and working with some really special folks. No headlines. No accolades. Sometimes they might get a pat on the back, but that doesn’t pay the bills.”

Representative Walsh added that “we have a terrific group of legislators here who really do hear your message…and we have a tremendous respect for the work that you do.”

Last year’s breakfast was cancelled due to the pandemic, so this was a momentous morning

Attendees remarked on what an uplifting morning it was, and how much they appreciated being in-person given that last year’s breakfast was cancelled due to the pandemic. Senator Diana DiZoglio and former Senator Richard Tisei were also in attendance, as were numerous human services workers, families, and caregivers.

The legislative panel and human services leaders take a moment to strike a pose after a lively panel discussion.

This month, Assistant Director of Day Programs Heather Melo sat down with CareCast host Dan Esdale. Heather happily shared insights in her role working at Incompass Human Services, and definitely had a little fun! She has spent virtually her entire career working in the field of human services, and had some heart-warming stories to share. During the conversation, she shares some of her favorite memories, tells us what she likes most about working in the field, and even gives us her take on the Brady vs. Belichick debate!

When asked how Heather would describe the Incompass experience, she had a wonderful answer!

“For me, I feel that all the staff are super invested in all of the individuals who come through this door. I feel that Incompass does a really great job of investing their time and really getting to know the individual; not just in the ways that we have to write their goals and all of those day-to-day things, but as a whole and I think we do a really good job with that.”

Heather also shared her favorite part of working as a Care Champion for Incompass…

“My favorite part is that I’m working with new people everyday, and I’m working with people who’ve been here for years and years. Seeing their growth over a time period is really fulfilling to see. And a lot of times when you know you’ve made a positive impact on those folks and you’re a part of that process, it’s great!”

Heather ended the conversation by saying “let’s do it again!” You can hear the CareCast on Spotify and iTunes as well…just search for Incompass Human Services!

And guess what…Incompass is hiring! Know someone you think would be a great fit? Let us know, as we’d love to talk to them. We have open positions in day programs and residential services, with both full-time and part-time roles available. Check out our open positions here.

The last five months have been an incredible period for all of us at LifeLinks CLASS.

• We’ve listened to our Care Champions.
• We’ve connected with our families and caregivers.
• We’ve consulted with fellow provider agencies.
• We’ve followed guidance from federal and state agencies.
• We’ve completed training to build our skills in infection prevention and containment

All of this insight, collaboration, and action has driven our agency’s pandemic response plan that has been rooted in proactive steps aimed at promoting the health and safety of our community. Remember, we suspended day programs, required face coverings, and offered hand-washing training prior to the release of state requirements.

So, at the risk of sounding self-serving, I don’t mind saying that I think we’re doing a heck of a job! ???

But hey, don’t just take my word for it! Our most recent round of surveillance testing conducted at nearly every group home just this week recorded zero positive tests! In fact, we haven’t recorded a single positive COVID-19 test in six weeks! ? ?

And remember – WE NEVER CLOSED! Our 16 group homes are staffed 24/7 and are home to nearly 100 individuals. Our nurses and clinical teams are providing essential medical care to individuals where they are. Our Family Support Center is actively serving more than 300 families throughout the region. Our family support and day program specialists have run more than 1,000 virtual programs since day programs were suspended.

The bottom line is that our organization is rooted in doing things for each other; this isn’t novel for us. It’s what makes us all Care Champions! While it’s easy to focus on tangible policies and procedures, I am especially proud of what we’ve accomplished in the past few months…

• We’ve learned from each other.
• We’ve supported each other.
• We’ve stayed home and avoided crowds for each other.
• We’ve donned masks for each other.
• We’ve been there for each other.

This includes all of you – staff, families, caregivers, individuals, public officials, Directors, and supporters. So on Monday, remember we aren’t just resuming day hab; we’re taking another step forward as a LifeLinks CLASS team…and we’re doing it #ForEachOther.

With regards,
Jean

Last week, we regretfully announced layoffs of 140 valued members of the LifeLinks CLASS day program and employment services teams. It was a truly sad week for so many people, especially those staff members whose jobs were impacted through no fault of their own. But we will get through this.

When news like this drops, it’s natural that people may draw their own conclusions. LifeLinks CLASS is not closing. CEO Jean Phelps addresses this decision directly with all of you in her latest video, explaining “why we did what we did, and what our plans are going forward.” Additionally, we are enclosing the messages that were sent to both staff and families over the past week announcing the layoffs.

To our LifeLinks CLASS family, we will continue to lead in providing critical supports to the nearly 1,000 individuals and families who we serve. The Family Support Center will continue to provide engaging virtual programming, individualized support, and personalized counsel. Our residential programs will continue to support people living independently, in one of our 16 group homes, or with shared living providers. Our AFC program will continue to assist caregivers across the community during their time of need. Our clinical teams will continue providing their invaluable services to every person we serve. Our Strive2Thrive and Healthy Balance programs will continue to engage young people in the community in our work. And if we get guidance and funding in place, we are confident that facility-based, community, and employment programs will thrive again on the other side of the pandemic.

Message to Staff on June 17:

 

To my LifeLinks CLASS family,

 

I’ve pledged never to lose focus on communicating with all of you on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our agency. Sometimes that pledge is easier to keep than others, and today I’m overwhelmed with emotion as I write to you all with extremely sad news.

 

Tomorrow, we are mailing layoff notices to 140 of our colleagues – all of whom work in day hab, CBDS, TREE, and employment services. (If you do not work in these departments, you are not affected.) The layoffs will take effect on July 3 and will impact both hourly workers and managers. For an agency whose mission is centered on inclusion, this development has been painstakingly difficult. Even more frustrating is the fact that due to the pandemic, I’m delivering this news to all of you from a distance – and not speaking to you directly.

 

First, let me assure you that this decision was not made in haste; it was a last resort. We highly value and respect every member of the LifeLinks CLASS team. But the fact is our agency is confronting three hard realities that we have little control over:

 

• Reduced funding of day programs that was in place through June 30 has now ceased.
• It’s been nearly 14 weeks since we made the announcement suspending facility-based day programs due to the pandemic.
• We’re not sure when – or even if – we’ll be able to operate at 100% capacity again.

 

Over these past few months, we’ve overcome so much by working together. You’ve all been laser-focused on the people we support. You’ve adopted new policies and procedures that keep all of us and the people we serve safe in a time of uncertainty. And most importantly, you’ve stayed positive throughout this entire ordeal. I’m so grateful for that, and it’s something I never take for granted.

 

To those team members who are leaving LifeLinks CLASS, I am truly sorry. This is not your fault. Let me say that again – this is NOT your fault. The people you serve and their families truly value the care and supports you provided on a daily basis. Your impact will live on, as you embody what it means to be a LifeLinks CLASS care champion. I want to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for everything you do. I pledge to you that we will do everything in our power to recall you as soon as we are able to resume our day and employment programs.

 

Human resources will be in touch individually with each of you whose jobs were impacted to help with the difficult and painful transition. We informed the SEIU earlier today and will work together to follow all the policies and procedures outlined in the CBA.

 

To those team members who are staying with LifeLinks CLASS, let’s live up to the example set by those who are leaving us. Let’s honor their contributions to LifeLinks CLASS. And let’s never forget our mission as an agency, that every individual has a right to live a fulfilling and happy life.

 

I know this news is difficult, and I want to give everyone a few days to process it. I’ll be convening a virtual town hall meeting next week so we can come together virtually as a community and begin the healing process. I’ll release more details on that in the coming days.

 

I promise you, better days are ahead. We will persevere. And we will always be there for the people we serve. The world is a better place because of it.

Message to Families on June 23:

 

Dear LifeLinks CLASS Families:

 

Last week, I shared the extremely sad news with the LifeLinks CLASS team that 140 of our colleagues – all of whom work in day hab, CBDS, TREE, and employment services – were receiving layoff notices effective July 3. The staff who are leaving us did nothing wrong, and truly embody what it means to be a LifeLinks CLASS care champion.

 

When I last wrote you it was with the news that we were suspending our facility-based day programs indefinitely, The reality is that without clear re-opening guidance from the Department of Developmental Services there is no way to commit to a re-opening date. Unfortunately, even after Governor Baker’s announcement of the phased re-opening plan, our agency is confronting three hard realities that we have little control over:

 

• The already reduced funding of day programs that was in place through June 30 has now ceased.
• It’s been 14 weeks since we made the announcement suspending facility-based day programs due to the pandemic.
• We’re not sure when – or even if – we’ll be able to operate at 100% capacity again.

 

Over these past few months, we’ve overcome so much by working together. No matter the circumstance, we’ve kept our focus on providing the critical services and supports to your loved ones. We will get through this. Together.

 

That being said, we’re losing critical funding that we need to maintain our current level of day services. While we’re hoping to recall all of the day services staff once we’re able to re-open, members of the team who you count on have been impacted by the layoffs. For some of you, that will mean changes after July 3:

 

• You may have a new main contact assigned to you.
• You may see a decrease in remote and in-person check-ins.
• You may see a reduction in some of the day program-related services and support we’re able to provide.

 

Over the next week, we’ll be in touch with each of you who will be directly impacted. While this is difficult, we’re all in this together. While we have to adapt to a new economic reality, we will never waiver on our commitment to providing the services and supports that your loved ones deserve. Our incredible team has pivoted over these past few months to ramp up our virtual and remote services and programs, and you’ve been a huge part of this incredible transition.

 

I want to thank you all. These past few months have been challenging for all of us – especially for your loved ones who are part of our family. We’ve been forced to suspend programs, restrict group home visitation, and implement new COVID-19 policies. Through it all, you’ve been thoughtful, understanding, and incredibly supportive. The stories you’ve shared with me about the dedication of our care champions have warmed my heart in ways I cannot possibly express.

 

I know this news is difficult to hear. I truly wish I could be more certain about the state’s plan and what it means for us going forward, but I promise I will update all of you as soon as we have clarity.

 

In the meantime, be well and stay safe.

Our agency is in regular contact with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services and industry organizations and will keep you updated and informed as we learn more. We’re anxious to see all of you in person again once it’s safe to do so.

Dear LifeLinks CLASS family:

I’m not even sure where to begin in my message to you. Like many of you, I was disgusted and horrified by the senseless killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. I watched on my tv as scenes played out across Boston and throughout the nation over the past few nights that devolved into something that was heart-wrenching and anxiety-provoking. A desperate unhappiness for the country permeates my heart and thoughts.

I realize that today we’re all hurting deeply. We are outraged and heartbroken. As a community, we can stand together. We can help each other. We can respect one another. And, most importantly, we can condemn hate and discrimination in all forms.

There are some immutable realities that we experience every day here at LifeLinks CLASS that – for me – help to equalize my emotions and ground me. First, we are one organization focused on one mission of ensuring the best life possible for each of the individuals we support to be happy and safe. Second, there are many races, religions, and cultures represented in our workforce and the people and families who we support; we are all unique and we actively respect those differences. Third, all are welcomed, and all are supported.

Think about that last statement. Inclusion is a core value of our organization. And it’s not just something I put in the annual report; it means that we collectively aspire to give those individuals we support the opportunity to achieve their full potential in an environment free from discrimination based on race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, or political ideology.

I know many of you right now feel overwhelmed, anxious, powerless, lonely, frustrated, and angry. We cannot separate the realities of the world from our work. We need to be open and honest with ourselves, and with each other, that there are systemic and ideologic divides right now in our country that are deep and wide. But remember that every day at LifeLinks CLASS we work in ways both small and wide to bridge those divides.

It’s a privilege to do what we do, and I have never been prouder of all of you or more humbled by the example of love and devotion that I have seen expressed during this time of the COVID-19 pandemic. You have supported our individuals above all else, including your own families. You have stood shoulder to shoulder carrying a very heavy burden. You are demonstrating compassion to individuals who are at home, struggling to understand the restrictions of a lockdown.

At LifeLinks CLASS we have always valued the preservation of the dignity of life. I pledge to never waver in that commitment.

Sincerely,

Jean M. Phelps, CEO
