Testimonial: “When Jeremy first started, he was very shy and kept to himself. We could tell that Jeremy was a little nervous doing case management. Over the past five months we have seen a total transformation in him. He is now confident as a case manager; his work ethic and problem-solving skills have landed Jeremy the lead navigation role with us. He is a leader in the office and rarely needs to be told what to do. Jeremy has turned in to our most reliable employee and we consider ourselves lucky to have him.”
