As we close out The Week of Respect, we want to end on a positive note with a message of positivity, respect and kindness. We ask that you take a minute to spread these POSITIVE messages to friends, family and staff in person as well as on social media. In a world where we are surrounded by so many mixed messages everyday, let’s take this time to focus on the positive and “throw kindness around like confetti”.
