What a beautiful day for a truly special moment! ✂️🎉

We were honored to celebrate the ribbon cutting at our Campbell County location today. It was an amazing event with a fantastic turnout, and we are so grateful to everyone who came out to support us and share in this milestone.

A special thank you to Chamber Director Missy Tackett, as well as the Campbell County Chamber of Commerce for helping make this event so memorable. We also extend our appreciation to Representative Dennis Powers and Deputy Mayor Randy Brown for joining us and showing their support.

We are excited for what’s ahead and proud to continue serving the Campbell County community. Thank you again to everyone who made today so special! 💚

Today we gave our EVC Warriors the send-off they truly deserve as they head to compete in Special Olympics track & field! 💚🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

The air was filled with excitement as the children from the Early Learning Center lined up outside with handmade signs, cheering loud and proud for our athletes. Their smiles, energy, and encouragement made this moment so incredibly special.

Watching everyone come together to support our Warriors was truly heartwarming. Moments like these remind us what EVC is all about—lifting each other up and celebrating every achievement along the way.

We are so proud of our team and can’t wait to cheer them on as they compete. Go Warriors! 💚

We recognize World ABA Day (March 20th) and celebrate the positive impact of Applied Behavior Analysis in supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

ABA is more than just a service—it’s a person-centered approach that helps individuals build meaningful skills, gain independence, and reach goals that matter most to them. Through evidence-based strategies, compassionate care, and individualized support, ABA empowers people to communicate, connect with their communities, and lead more self-directed lives.

At Emory Valley Center, we are proud of the dedicated professionals Eric Vici, BCBA; Abbi Hicks, RBT; and Ally Jones, RBT, who provide these services with respect, inclusion, and a strong commitment to quality. We also celebrate the individuals and families we serve, whose trust and partnership make this work so meaningful every day.

We are proud to celebrate several individuals recently recognized by our board for their outstanding contributions and dedication! 👏💚

Matthew Stewart (not pictured) was recognized for his incredible involvement across multiple programs. He actively participates in Community Supported Living, PSR, and Special Olympics, and is currently training for employment through our Workforce Development program. Matthew’s commitment, positive attitude, and drive to reach his goals are truly inspiring! 🌟

Addie Foster, an outstanding member of our Case Management team. In just six months with EVC, Addie has shown remarkable growth and professionalism. She has skillfully managed a complex caseload, consistently advocating for the individuals she supports while maintaining strong communication with their Circles of Support. Addie is a true asset, and we are so grateful for the impact she makes each day. 💚

Lacey Ausburn was also recognized for her exceptional dedication. Starting as a Direct Support Professional and transitioning to Case Manager, Lacey has gone above and beyond in her role. Her background as a Licensed Practical Nurse has been invaluable, and her compassion truly shines through—especially in the care and support she provided to an individual and their family during a very difficult time. Lacey’s commitment and heart for others make a lasting difference. 💚

Please join us in congratulating Matthew, Addie, and Lacey on these well-deserved recognitions! 👏💚
