SCIENTISTS HAVE FOUND that one dog year does not equal 7 human years. In fact, the only thing that equals 7 human years is 2020. Happy Friday, hang in -- and thanks ML Woods for bringing a lil' levity into our Agape work days!
LIFE IS A SPLENDID GIFT-there is nothing small about it.

Agape came together this past weekend to honor our incredible nurses for this Year of the Nurse (2020-Florence Nightengale's 200th B-Day). The event, at THE InsideOUTSIDE Spaces Showroom, included individual recognition, a pinning ceremony and a renewed commitment to the profession of nursing. Thanks to Kelly, Amanda, and all who contributed to making this a memorable time!
