NCCH hosted its semi‑annual Provider Breakfast on March 18, bringing together provider partner organizations for an informative and inspiring morning focused on the role of Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) as strategic drivers of community inclusion.
The session featured a presentation by Dr. Janet Keeler, who highlighted the critical impact DSPs have in advancing inclusion through leadership, advocacy, and daily action. Dr. Keeler emphasized that DSPs are far more than frontline support—they are difference makers whose work directly contributes to measurable, meaningful improvements in the quality of life for NCCH residents.
Through her presentation, Dr. Keeler underscored how informed leadership and intentional practices empower DSPs to create inclusive environments where individuals can thrive as active, valued members of their communities.
The NCCH Provider Breakfast serves as an important opportunity for provider partners to engage in industry‑focused training and professional development offered through the NCCH Residential Services Program. By investing in education and collaboration, NCCH continues to strengthen its shared commitment to inclusion, excellence, and positive outcomes for the people it serves.
