As you all know November is Thanksgiving Month, and despite all the challenges we have faced this year, there is so much that we are truly thankful for. We start off our Grateful Series for 2020 with a quote from Todd Landreneau, Deputy Director for the Behavioral Health Services Department's Managed Care Services department. Here is Todd's quote: "I am fortunate to experience gratitude for many things in my life. For the past 7 months, I am grateful to have spent a signi...ficant part of my work week with many of you. The dedication, commitment, and passion you have brought and continue to bring to the office each day is an inspiration to me. With sincere appreciation, I want to recognize how fortunate I am to work alongside each of you. Thank you so much, Todd, for all your contribution in 2020!
