After a very busy month of moving into the HealthForce Kentucky Innovation Center, our team finally got to slow down and enjoy lunch together at Joys Cooking Classes and More. It was a fun and relaxing break, and a great reminder of how thankful we are for our team and the team spirit they bring. Missing a few of our teammates but they are with us in spirit!
