Congrats to Bambi Downing, recovery specialist for MBH and July Colleague of the Month. “Bambi volunteers & takes on the most complex and challenging cases. A patient was going to need a lot of coordination with providers, advocacy and connection to natural supports. She was able to coordinate care with all the patient’s providers during what ended up being end-of-life care.” http://mh.social/3V3J50WCT1x
