Over the past few days, our Chief Clinical Officer, Kim Meals, spoke as a panelist at several community events.

The first was the Ohio Council Annual Conference in Columbus, where Kim shared about the many collaborations and innovative programs at CSS as we strive to meet the community's needs.

Kim was also a panelist at Leadership Akron's NEXT program as part of Health and Social Services day. During this event, Kim engaged conversation about how healthcare, behavioral health, social support, and housing systems intersect- and where our community has opportunities for improvement.

Thank you, Kim, for representing CSS at these events, as we are excited to share more about our programs and services around the community!
