Medical Home Plus Update on Uncork Hope

October 14, 2021 By Carissa Garabedian

Dear MHP Friends and Supporters,

We are writing to share that we feel there is no safer option than to reimagine this year’s Uncork Hope event, scheduled for November 5, 2021. After hosting a virtual event last year, we were anticipating a joyous return to our traditional in-person (and indoor) event, but feel that concerns about COVID-19 still linger. Our mission is to provide hope and support to families of children with special healthcare needs. Hosting an inside event for a large crowd, given the hardships that continue to surround our community, especially where children are concerned, would go against that mission.

We Can Do Hard Things

October 4, 2021 By Carissa Garabedian

This past Monday, we were in court. I happen to love court rooms and law, but usually from a TV screen or a novel. It is so different when you are participating in one.
I have not been in many court rooms, and luckily for me, the few times I have, I have always been on the right side of the law. BUT, even so, being in a court room makes me feel uneasy.
