Path Forward employees participated in a teambuilding day on Oct 12^th at Pinot Palette in St. Mathews. We painted a painting inspired by Bob Ross called “Paint it like Ross”. You may ask what painting has to do with providing life support services. In a world where we’re more virtually connected than ever, it seems that our teams are more disconnected that ever. Path Forward has employees throughout the Louisville, Bluegrass, and Bowling Green areas. Path Forward makes it a priority to take time to invest in relationships and team building. Positive, high-performing teams are built through communication, shared experiences, positive interactions, and challenges.  At Path Forward we try to create a positive work environment that exhibits our core values in our day to day work which is called the PFK Way: compassion, education, honesty, integrity, respect, commitment and rock solid teamwork!

The Waiver Coordinators attended the KAPP conference on September 26-28^th at the Marriot East. This was the 4^th annual conference and this year’s theme was Mission Possible. The Waiver Coordinators attended several interesting breakout sessions regarding Guardianship, Medicaid Eligibility, Preventing Burnout, Stable Accounts, and Technology Enabled Supports. Path Forward of Kentucky is a proud member of KAPP, which stands for Kentucky Association of Private Providers. 

On the last day of the conference, KAPP host an Annual DSP Celebration Award Ceremony. It is everyone’s favorite event by far because you get to see and hear about the amazing work done throughout the state by DSP’s! Path Forward’s FHP Butch Bene was honored as 1 of 8 Distinguished DSP Award winners! Butch is an outstanding DSP, who consistently goes above and beyond by thinking outside of the box. It is an honor to have Butch Bene as part of our Path Forward family. He truly exhibits the PFK Way and we could not have been more proud to celebrate Butch at the Award Ceremony.
