Celebrating Our Incredible Volunteers

Recently, we had the joy of hosting our first annual Volunteer Appreciation Event: a day dedicated to recognizing those who give their time, energy, and heart to Boundless.

The afternoon featured an inspiring panel discussion on the impact of volunteerism, the presentation of our I Am Boundless Volunteer Appreciation Awards, and a special “leave-your-mark” activity where guests added heartfelt “bubbles” to our volunteer wishing tree.

To every volunteer who helps us build a world that realizes the boundless potential of all people — thank you. Your compassion and dedication make a difference every day.

Last night, we were proud to celebrate the Cleveland Cavaliers Community Foundation, winners of the Outstanding Foundation Award at the Cleveland National Philanthropy Day celebration, an honor they received based on Boundless’ nomination.

Our Chief Strategy Officer, Jennifer Riha, had the privilege of presenting the award. During her remarks, Pam Frasco from the Cavs Community Foundation shared a moment we won’t forget:

“You remind us every day that belonging is not a privilege, it’s a right.”

This recognition reflects their deep commitment to expanding access, strengthening community partnerships, and championing inclusion across Northeast Ohio, values that align closely with our mission at Boundless.

What if your family could have more choice, flexibility, and peace of mind when it comes to caregiving with waiver compensation?

That’s the idea behind Boundless@Home: a program designed for individuals with I/DD who live with a family member or in their own home. With Boundless@Home, you get the freedom to:
✅ Choose the caregivers you trust
✅ Set a schedule that works for your family
✅ Rely on Boundless to handle training, paperwork, and compliance
✅ Dedicated case management within the program

It’s a program built to reduce stress, improve the quality of care, and keep families in control.

Families using a Level One Waiver, IO Waiver, Ohio Shared Living, or a SELF-Waiver are eligible.

To get started, contact Matthew Chapman at mchapman@iamboundless.org or 614 391-2070 (call or text).

And with recent EVV requirement changes causing many waiver claims to be rejected, Boundless@Home is more important than ever — ensuring your care and caregiving compensation continues without interruption.

🦷✨ At the 2025 Ohio Dental Association Annual Session, Boundless Health had the opportunity to highlight something truly groundbreaking: specialized dental care designed for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Our team showcased how we combine dentistry with behavioral support, a care model built to remove barriers and make oral health accessible for everyone. By advocating for neurodivergent patients and connecting with dental professionals from across the nation, we’re helping shape the future of inclusive dentistry.

Events like these aren’t just about awareness; they’re about action — building partnerships, sharing innovation, and making sure every person receives the care they deserve.

Dental care should be accessible, welcoming, and inclusive for everyone. See how Boundless makes that a reality 👉 http://bit.ly/3KscbWl
