Director's Corner
by Barbara Alexis Looby, MSWAC, Administrative Director of CKHS Senior Health Services
2008. Wow, what a year! For many it was an exhausting year. Regardless of our position on any or all of the issues, we were all affected by the onslaught of information geared to affect our thoughts and perceptions. We learned that simple words like “change” and “hope” could be redefined. We learned that this was a year of many “firsts,” as we recognized that a woman, an African American an older American were all setting new standards and redefining what and who we are as citizens of the world. We learned that decisions made by a group of people at one end of the world can muster up responses from people at the other end of the globe; reminding us that we are much more connected than we appear to be in our everyday lives.
