The holiday season always brings not just a sense of joy and warmth of family, great friends and colleagues, but serves to bring wonder to what lies ahead in the new year.
But this year is different.
Yes, many of us can still aspire to that same holiday cheerfulness, but clearly the year 2020 has wrought a new world that, while we feel somewhat subdued, reinforces gratitude for what we have accomplished and a renewed commitment and motivation to face any challenge.
As we collectively look back on the last nine-months, CVHEC takes pride that we stepped up in a meaningful way and met the challenge together. That collective pride was aptly displayed at our board meeting this week when we personally bid farewell to one of our ardent leaders, Dr. Joseph I. Castro.
