This Months Living the Mission Award Winner









Kim Conway's dedication and leadership at Maryhaven have truly shone through, especially with her recent recognition as the recipient of the May Mission Award. This past year, she faced the formidable challenge of temporarily relocating nine individuals while their home at Lower Rocky Point IRA underwent renovations. 

Despite the difficulties associated with such a significant transition, Kim prioritized the safety and well-being of each individual. She anticipated potential stressors that the residents might face during this period and ensured that her staff were well-prepared and alert to provide the necessary support. 

Her genuine care for the happiness of those she serves was evident as she guided them through this transition, making sure they felt secure and supported. Kim's efforts have paved the way for a smooth return to their newly renovated and beautiful home, reflecting her commitment to enhancing the quality of life for each individual at Maryhaven.
Now she continues with making sure to make the house truly a home for each of them. Great work Kim!
